After the location of the mercenary group headquarters was selected, the seeds from the Far East Heavy Industry Mining Area outside Duanhe City began to move to Heiliu City in batches. From the construction and renovation of the new site, to the formation movement of the seeds, as well as the required logistical supplies, everything was done by
Song Hu took care of it all by himself. Seeing Song Hu going up and down, back and forth, so busy that he was almost flying, Qianye simply sent Ah Qi and Ah Jiu over as his assistants.
The knowledge these twin girls learned in the business group finally came into use. They were both patient, meticulous and hard-working, and within two days they were able to take on their own roles and became Song Hu's right-hand assistants.
Qianye only listened to the report once every night, and left everything else to them. He spent most of his time practicing in a quiet room. Qianye had already decided to set up a mercenary group, and went to the wilderness to patrol and hunt, not only to obtain
The bounty is to keep the mercenary group running, and I also want to use my own eyes to see the situation outside. In the wilderness, the most guaranteed thing is your own strength.
At this moment, Wei Potian was still struggling with the mountains of documents, and Wei Hou, who had disappeared for two days, walked in quietly. Wei Dongming saw that although Wei Potian was still grinning at the documents, he was still writing.
But there was no mess at all, and I nodded secretly with great satisfaction.
Wei Potian stood up in a hurry and asked, "Dad, are you back so soon?"
Wei Dongming was obviously in a good mood, and he smiled and cursed: "You and I have so many important things to do, how can we spend a lot of time in this small place. However, I have been walking around in the past few days, and it seems that the situation is quite calm, which means that you are still handling government affairs.
Careful."
Wei Potian grimaced and said, "These trivial things are much more troublesome than fighting!"
Wei Dongming's face changed and he began to lecture again: "You will be the head of the family in the future, how can you know how to fight and kill all day long! Since your uncle Bai Niantang is unwilling to take over the position of teacher this time, let's slowly take over this position.
Just hand over the defense area to the expeditionary force. Of course, you can't just give it to them for nothing, you have to let them give it a good blood."
At this point, Wei Dongming's expression softened and he said: "I have asked people to arrange the itinerary. You can come with me in a few days. My ancestor misses you very much. You should also meet those girls in advance."
Come on, choose the one you like, so that you and I can have our grandson as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, Wei Potian said: "Uncle Liu Tang has agreed to stay."
Wei Dongming was immediately shocked: "What? Bainian wants to stay?!"
Wei Potian spread his hands and said, "Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Uncle Sixth Hall refused to agree to it no matter what two days ago, and yesterday he suddenly told me that he decided to stay. Today he has already gone to inspect the various outposts in the periphery.
."
Wei Dongming still couldn't believe it: "This is absolutely impossible! He has obviously already agreed..."
Having said this, Wei Dongming immediately stopped talking, but Wei Potian had already woken up and stared at his father with evil eyes.
When Wei Dongming met Wei Bainian in the evening, he didn't show much surprise. His cousin had always been indifferent and casual. Now that he was interested in Yongye Continent and could take in a beloved thing, Wei Dongming naturally couldn't help it.
I would object, but the layout of the Wei family here needs to be adjusted accordingly.
The two brothers have many years of experience in handling similar matters. Wei Bainian briefly explained the resource and manpower requirements and arrangements. After Wei Dongming listened to them one by one, he gave verbal authorization first and then recorded the matter after returning to the family.
Finished.
Only then did Wei Dongming talk about one of his gains from going out for the past two days, "I already know who the person behind the scenes is, the seventh son of the Song clan, Song Zining."
Since Wei Potian didn't say anything, Wei Hou would certainly not ask his son's cronies openly. No matter what the reason, a servant should not have two masters. And the expeditionary army Xiao Lingshi was even less likely to reveal it.
But nothing in this world can be done without traces. As long as you follow the huge profit channels behind Wu Zhengnan, you can get a glimpse of the changes. Moreover, the Marquis of Wei does not need to get it to investigate the case.
For empirical evidence, a rough guess is enough.
Wei Bainian was stunned at first. Song Zining was not well-known. He had almost never heard of the name. Then he thought of some traces he saw at the scene of Wu Zhengnan's death, and suddenly realized: "By the way, so to speak, the Force flame at the scene,
It might be the Song Clan’s combat skill, the Beacon Fire Spreading Gun.” He couldn’t help but frown and said, “Song Clan?”
The Wei family in the Far East has always maintained neutrality with the four major clans, and is not particularly close to any of them. After Wei Potian entered the Broken Wing Angel, he came under the command of the White Dragon Armor of the White clan. However, this connection due to the establishment
It does not reflect his position. But when Wei Potian chose to join forces with the Seventh Son of the Song Dynasty when dealing with Wu Zhengnan's mixed public and private affairs, the meaning was completely different.
Wei Dongming added: "Shi Qing just told me that Qiyang's Crown Prince's token has been recovered and asked her to cancel the external authorization." The tokens of the core members of the Wei family must be recorded in the family's archives before they can take effect.
, use is no exception. Both brothers know that the crown prince’s token given by Wei Potian to Qianye has not actually been exchanged for resources.
Wei Bainian was slightly stunned. He was a little suspicious that the people behind the scenes wanted to influence the prince through Qianye, but this news came unexpectedly. If he had the intention, why would he give up such a great opportunity?
Wei Dongming said calmly: "Let's end this matter here. Since Qiyang regards this as his own private matter, we don't need to delve too deeply. He is not a child anymore and should understand what he is doing."
Wei Bainian nodded and had no objection to his eldest brother's decision. What the Wei family needs is a leader, not a puppet who obeys orders. Even parents cannot have complete control over their children. After all, the road ahead is up to them.
Walk.
Wei Bainian's vigorous and resolute style of leading troops was completely different from his elegant appearance. He inspected the entire defense area in three days and handled several conflicts with two adjacent divisions along the way. The so-called conflicts were actually his orders.
The subordinates used trivial matters as a provocation, and then used this as an excuse to suppress the two divisions and bring two adjacent military strongholds in strategic positions under their control.
In the past few days, Qianye's mercenary group also received its first commission agreement from Wei Bainian.
The mercenary group will take over the defense of two small towns outside Blackstream City. The monthly defense fee for each town is three hundred gold coins. This is barely enough to maintain the daily expenses of the entire mercenary group. However, it is far from being able to develop.
Not enough. The only real way out is to wait until the war starts, increase defense costs, and use the merits of killing the dark race to exchange bounties from the empire.
This evening, it was time for Song Hu to report to Qianye again.
Song Hu organized the mercenaries into five squadrons, each with a hundred people. He selected four experienced warriors from the original batch of seeds to lead two teams, while Ah Qi and Ah Jiu each led one team.
The other team was commanded by Song Hu himself.
The next step was all the trivial matters of renovation and training. Qianye only heard a general outline. The only thing worthy of his attention was the follow-up funding issue. Resources are what leaders need to focus on. Other trivial matters only need to be properly employed.
Afterwards, Song Hu talked about the defense of the theater he was assigned to. Qianye only signed an agreement with Wei Bainian, and Song Hu would hand over the specific takeover matters to the 7th Division Headquarters. Logically speaking, he had just received the defense map in the afternoon.
It will take at least a day or two to work out a specific plan.
Qianye looked at the map of the war zone spread out by Song Hu, and his heart moved slightly. It was a coincidence that one of the two assigned towns was Dengta Town where he had stayed for half a year, and the other town was also next to Dengta Town, not far apart.
It's like dozens of kilometers.
Song Hu looked a little solemn and said, "Master, how is your relationship with the Wei family?"
Qianye looked up at him and said, "Is this important?"
Song Hu pointed at the map and explained.
These two small towns are actually very bad. After the sacking of Lighthouse Town when Zhao Gongzi’s forces were uprooted by the expeditionary force, its vitality has not recovered to this day. There are only more than a thousand permanent residents in the entire town.
Another Black Mud Town is slightly better than Lighthouse Town, but its location is even more protruding into the dark territory than Lighthouse Town. It belongs to the most border area of the entire Mikawa County. Beyond that, there are only some human settlements. Black Mud Town is in the dark territory.
On the edge of the mud swamp, the environment is barren and harsh. Most of the people in the town are scavengers and herb collectors who risk their lives to enter the swamp.
"Look here." Song Hu pointed at a location in the center of the black mud swamp, and then drew a route that led directly to a dark race city three hundred kilometers away.
"This is Spider Nest City. It is full of spider demons and werewolves, and there may be a small number of demons. In the past large-scale wars, they would occasionally pass through the black mud swamp and penetrate into the black stream city. The swamp environment cannot stop them.
The nerubians live there, and the werewolves can ride on the servitors through the swamp."
Qianye couldn't help but look up at Song Hu and asked, "Have you fought in this area before?" It must have only been two or three hours since Song Hu got the defense zone map, but he had already figured out the surrounding environment so clearly.
Song Hu replied: "Of course not. But since you want to take root in Heiliu City, of course I have to collect more information." That is to say, Song Hu began to pay attention to the surrounding areas of Heiliu City from the time he came to Qianye.
trend.
No, Song Hu is not only paying attention to the battle zone of the 7th Division. Qianye looked at the map and found that the distance from the two small towns to the Spider Nest City opposite the Black Mud Swamp was more than 300 kilometers. Such a vast area, even if
In Yongye, it also exceeded the garrison range of a division.
Seeing this, Qianye said: "It seems that it is not a problem for you to be the chief of staff of the division."
Song Hu said lightly: "Ten years ago, I was a division-level chief of staff in the Empire's 10th Army, and I was just hanging around. After I was injured, my rank was lowered by two levels. I couldn't stay in my original position, so I retired.
The Song Dynasty clan is just trying to make ends meet."
Qianye was slightly moved. The Tenth Army was the main army of the empire, and the officers there were completely different from the expeditionary force. He didn't expect that Song Zining would send such a person.
Song Hu finally said: "If it weren't for the war, the dark races in Spider Nest City wouldn't have to work hard to cross the swamp, so our mission this time would be easy. However, this time it is indeed a war, so it is almost certain that someone will emerge from the swamp.
The dark race army! Young Master, General Wei assigned us two towns like this. If you say it’s just a coincidence, I’m afraid no one will believe it, right?”
