There is a strength requirement to operate a strong crossbow, and each legion can find people with enough strength, but it will take time to train them to be qualified crossbowmen.

Lei Feixiang found that everyone's eyes were focused on him again, and hurriedly said: "The Red Army for the Protectorate is changing its establishment, and if a single-arm regiment is to be changed into a mixed combat corps, it will take at least three months of training and combat cooperation. ”

After discovering the shortcomings of the private army, Ding Kui immediately made changes and established a new mixed regiment.

The mixed regiment consisted of a strong crossbow battalion, an infantry battalion, an ordnance battalion, a cavalry squadron and an auxiliary battalion, with a total strength of 2,100 men.

The three mixed regiments form a mixed division, and the division headquarters is also directly subordinate to a cavalry brigade, with a total establishment of 7,300 men, which is equivalent to the strength of a division.

In addition to using large equipment, the ordnance battalion is also equipped with repeating crossbows, and can choose ultra-long-range and medium-range attack modes during combat to fill the gap in the firepower coverage of the mixed regiment.

After the reorganization is completed, the combat effectiveness of a division of the Red Army can be compared to that of a division of the regular army, and if it can meet the training requirements of Ding Kui, it can even be compared to a division of the Eighth Army Corps.

The special operations regiment is still an independent regiment, with 800 men per battalion and a total strength of 2,400 troops.

The advantages of a mixed regiment are that it has a variety of tactics, a wealth of offensive and defensive means, and no obvious shortcomings; but the disadvantage is that it has no obvious advantage, and it is inferior to a single branch of the army in carrying out a single combat mission, and its marching speed is on the slow side.

Ding Kui knocked on the wine glass and said, "Time! The enemy needs time, and we need time even more!"

It takes time to train new recruits, it takes time to change the outfit of troops, it takes time to practice new tactics, it takes time to gather intelligence about the enemy, and even if there is a link that is delayed, it will not be possible to start a large-scale war.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Equipment are developing new equipment, and the new equipment also needs to be installed for mass production, and each corps has set up an inspection team to be responsible for inspecting the new equipment and compiling tutorials and codes of operation. ”

The outside world knows that there is an arsenal in Hengfu City, specializing in the production and research and development of equipment, but Hengfu City itself is a super array, outsiders are easy to get lost when they enter, and non-locals cannot find the location of the arsenal, coupled with the strict security measures in the city, it is difficult for secret spies to find out the news.

Ding Kui is not worried about the leakage of his research and development of new equipment, others can't imagine what he has made up at all, even if another earthling crosses over, he doesn't know what medicine is sold in his gourd.

After the iron block comes out, it may be imitated, but it will take a long time, unless Qingyang Zi is poached and the core technology is leaked out.

The focus of civil service discussions was on taxation and the construction of railways, and the local government slowly shifted from sitting on the collection of taxes to providing fee-based services.

Some people put forward the concept of a railcar that specially carries goods, which aroused Qianyou's attention. He had recently received a summons from Rong Ci, asking him to do more for the benefit of a Qi Magician.

An ordinary magician only needs to be attached to a magic guild to receive the benefits provided by the magic association, but the magician with a fast promotion speed needs more resources, and it is definitely not enough to rely on the general association, and he must obtain additional cultivation resources.

When the war broke out, many magicians took risks and resolutely joined the army to seek rewards for their military exploits, and the magicians of the Shaodian Kingdom rarely served ordinary people to make money in the past, but now the situation has changed.

In Ding Kui's territory, it may not be decent to serve ordinary people, but it is much safer than going to the battlefield, and the income is long-term stable, and there are many magicians of the same line to accompany him.

At first, a large number of Gonglianggu's disciples flocked to the south, and then a group of disciples and grandsons who were the most frustrated by Zhe Taixuan suddenly became active, and went to Nanqiu County in groups, and then after a long silence, they came out of the mountain and assigned their disciples to contact Ding Kui.

Rong Ci has always sat firmly in Diaoyutai, he and the qi magician he represents were the first to invest in the Ding family, and sent a disciple to follow Ding Kui more than ten years ago, not to mention that his best female apprentice was abducted by Ding Kui.

However, seeing that a large number of disciples of the family had benefited, he couldn't sit still, and only Qianyou and Ruan Xingzhu would suffer a big loss! After secretly reporting to Jingjing, he decided to send more Qi magicians to Ding Kui's territory.

Ruan Xingzhu was still too young in Rong Ci's eyes, and he was easily deceived by Ding Kui, so he chose Qianyou.

"Dragging heavy objects requires deep qi cultivation, and other magicians can't drive railcars that can't carry goods. "Qianyou realizes the importance of trucks.

"Where does this start, the wind array can convert the energy of various systems, and as long as the magic is cultivated enough, it can drive the freight rail car. Huan Qiao immediately objected.

This place is adjacent to the Great Swamp and the Tongyuan River, the number of water magicians is overwhelming, and Huan Qiao's junior sister has just married Ding Kui, so he must protect the interests of water magicians.

"It's easy to choke when you eat alone, how many people are there in your Shenkong Gate? Do you want to be a rail car driver? I support Senior Brother Huan's statement. "Cai Ran has a clear position, rail car drivers cannot be monopolized by a certain series of magicians.

The earth magician is not high, Huang Wan is in the backyard, and no one can interject.

"It's true that all magicians can use the magic array, but there is a difference in the driving efficiency, the first-level magic core can be used for a day in my hands, and it may only be half a day in your hands, so it's obvious that it's more suitable for me than you.

Senior Brother Cai just said that there are few of my Shenkong Sects here, that's right! There are indeed very few now, but don't forget that my senior brothers have feet, can fly, and fly very fast! It won't be long before you see more. "Qianyou is not ambiguous when he contributes to the teacher.

"There will be more and more rail cars, and it is not a big problem for the Shenkong Sect to send a few disciples, but you can't occupy all the freight rail cars, even if I am Senior Brother Ken Huan, I will not agree. "Cai Ran wants to tie himself up with Huan Qiao.

The fire magician is weak, and Cai Ran is also very aware of the status of Qianyou and Ruan Xingzhu in Ding Kui's heart, and he can't compete with them on his own.

"Senior brother, let me ask you a question, suppose someone from the Southern Demon Branch wants to find something to do, will you arrange it?" Huan Qiao is a magic guild under Nanqiu County, and he wants to give Cai Ran a little face.

"Of course, try to arrange it. "Qianyou doesn't want to offend people in his heart.

"That's right, they are all disciples of the Fashen, what kind of sect are they divided into, everyone has to take care of it, Senior Brother Cai has done a good job in this, I suggest that he become the representative of the southern counties. Huan Qiao simply held Cai Ran on the table.

"President Cai is a famous family and can take care of small sects, he represents that we are indeed quite suitable. ”

"I think it's okay. ”

"We agree. ”

“......”

Fire, water, and earth magicians agreed.

Qianyou was choked, and he rarely interacted with the person in charge of the Magic Guild, and he suffered a big loss in the face of this situation.

There are not many qi magicians in the army, and they can't prevent Cai Ran from becoming a representative of magicians under the governance of the small imperial court.

Hmph, I'll ask my junior sister to tell Ding Kui when I go back.

The minority obeys the majority, Qianyou pinched his nose and admitted it, but the railway bureau has the right to appoint rail car drivers, and the magician representative only has the right to recommend.

The eldest princess's birth is a major event in the current situation, and the Shaodian Kingdom is in chaos, and some bigwigs from different forces have responded.

Jiang Li and Long Dang sent gifts to express the care of their elders. The gift-giving team had already arrived in Juyang City, and it was sent to the door as soon as Ding Kui announced the news.

Shaodian Yong sent a message to the whole country, congratulated his cousin on getting a son, and issued an edict to designate the son of Shaodian Luan as the heir of the Protector of the Kingdom, and reward the whole county of Nanqiu County as the fief of the Protector of the Kingdom, and Jin Ding Kui was the deputy commander of the Military Command Department of the Commander's Office, and was also in charge of the military of Nannuma Prefecture.

The Zhenjing City Elders' House urged Ding Kui to determine the surname of the eldest princess's son, and if the surname was Ding, the Senate would register and make a register to determine the succession order of the Protector or Zhongyongbo, and if the surname was Shaodian, it would be transferred to the clan government, which would determine his identity.

The queen sent a message to congratulate Shaodianluan, claiming that she had prepared a heavy gift and handed it to Shaodianluan at her birthday banquet.

The Prince of Nanping of the Guyuan Empire, the Helian family of Zhenhai Gong of the Meng Kingdom, the Feng family of his own country, and the fleets of the three gift-giving families crowded the docks of Juyangcheng, and after arriving on the shore, they publicized it loudly, emphasizing the friendly relationship between their own family and the Ding family, for fear that others would not know.

Prominent families such as the Kong family, the Xun family, and the five marquis and ten uncles privately sent envoys to secretly visit Ding Kui and send gifts from each family, indicating that they did not regard Ding Kui and Shaodianluan as enemies.

There were too many people sent by the small family and the military, and the queue in front of the Earl's Palace lasted for half a month.

Ding Kui didn't show up after attending the banquet that night, and he had been playing with his wife and children in the backyard, and the envoys were received by his cronies.

"What?" Ruan Xingzhu glared at Qianyou, "You tell me in private, now that it's public, others will definitely stare at it in the future, and I won't be able to solve it secretly."

Tell Brother Kui, How do you say it? Do you openly express your preference for Shenkongmen? Senior Brother is so confused, not to mention that Senior Sister Li is my sister-in-law, Cai Ran and Huang Wan are both involved in the highly classified military industry, and Brother Kui can't ignore their opinions. ”

"What then?" Qianyou was deflated, "I have the responsibility of the teacher. "He doesn't know how to fight for power and profit, and he can't fight Huan Qiao, Cai Ran and others.

"It's good that Senior Brother is here, he will definitely be able to suppress Cai Ran. "Ruan Xingzhu doesn't have many methods, neither Rong Ci nor Guijing have taught her.

"Yes, we can contact Senior Brother and ask him for help. Qianyou cheered up.

"Will he come? The teacher may not be able to find him. Ruan Xingzhu was skeptical.

"Something that doesn't have interests will definitely not find him, but he also has disciples and grandchildren, and he will definitely come to help in this matter. "Qianyou knows Min Chou better.

"What are you talking about?" Ding Kui suddenly appeared at the door, this was Ruan Xingzhu's courtyard, and he usually let him know if he was coming.

"Ah, that's the case......" Qianyou tore away his junior sister's hand and said it as it was.

The Magic Guild is a big river and lake, Ding Kui has some understanding, and it is not strange to listen to what Qianyou said, and said: "It's not impossible to favor the Divine Empty Gate, but it can't be made public!"

Ruan Xingzhu glanced at Qianyou: I'm not wrong.

"My brother Xie got into trouble some time ago, you all know it, right?" Ding Kui looked at Qianyou.
