The end of the military era

At this time, Cui Tao, who was following Shen Zhi, said loudly: "Brother Zhou, this is as long as it doesn't make a show, it's a blockbuster.

As soon as Brother Zhou made a move, he took down the Chihu Empire Navy and seized a blizzard-class all-steel battleship and two ice-knife-class armored cruisers from the Flying Leopard Empire. From now on, our coastal defense fleet in Ganyang City will be the largest in Fengwu Town of the fleet. "

Chapter 12 The Six Families

Seeing Cui Tao, Zhou Rui had to admit that the number one son of Ganyang City was indeed handsome, no wonder he was able to marry Liu Yiqiu, the eldest lady of the Liu family who was the head of the four beauties in Ganyang City.

Oh, by the way, it seems that Liu Yiqiu has not married Cui Tao yet!

In the previous life, after Zhou Rui hid in a colosseum in Xiushui City, he had been trying every means to collect news about Wei Jie and the major families in Ganyang City, hoping to avenge his parents and sister one day.

The Cui family in Ganyang also joined Wei Jie later, and Cui Tao became a general under Wei Jie's command.

But Zhou Rui heard that Cui Tao sent all his wives to Wei Jie's bed in order to let Wei Jie accept the Cui family, and he didn't know if it was true.

That is Liu Yiqiu who is the most beautiful in Ganyang City, Cui Tao is really willing to part with it!

"Master Cui, you are very familiar with the three warships that our Zhou family bought!" Zhou Rui said with a smile.

Cui Tao didn't seem to understand the meaning of Zhou Rui's words, he still said with a smile: "In the future, Ganyang City will be safer with these three powerful warships.

All the people in Ganyang City should be grateful to Brother Zhou! "

Another young man who was following Shen Zhi then said with a smile: "Xiao Rui, you have given us a big surprise in Ganyang City this time. If you have time some other day, call Chen Bin and let's have a good get-together." Get together."

The young man who spoke was Chen Kai, the eldest son of Chen Xian, commander of the Fifth Division of Fengwu Army, and Chen Bin's elder brother.

Because of Chen Bin's relationship, Zhou Rui actually had a good relationship with Chen Kai, but in the last life, Chen Kai personally led the troops of the Fifth Division of the Fengwu Army that hunted and killed Zhou Rui's family.

The person who shot and killed Zhou Rui's mother, Wen Yu, was also a soldier under Chen Kai's command.

"Brother Kai is here too." Zhou Rui said in a flat tone.

Chen Kai was also on Zhou Rui's must-kill list, but Zhou Rui knew that now was not the time for him to take revenge.

In addition to Cui Tao and Chen Kai, Pang Bo from the Pang family, Dong Bixin from the Dong family, and Kong Youpeng from the Kong family all followed behind Shen Zhi.

At present, the Cui family, Chen family, Pang family, Dong family, Kong family, and Zhou family in Ganyang City are also known as the six major families in Ganyang because they all control the military power.

Apart from the six major families, only Shen Zhi, who represented Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, had the military power in Ganyang City. In addition, Sun Quan, the city lord, also had a city defense regiment in charge of security.

Zhou Rui exchanged pleasantries with everyone for a while, and then he used an excuse to deal with military affairs and prepared to drive them away.

You must know that in the previous life, apart from Shen Zhi who represented the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, the other five major families were the murderers who led to the destruction of the Zhou family.

If Zhou Rui hadn't learned forbearance after living at the bottom of society for more than ten years, he would have set up a machine gun and killed these enemies a long time ago.

Hearing this, Shen Zhi said with a smile: "We have just received three warships, and there are indeed many things waiting for nephew Zhou Xian to deal with, so we people will not disturb here.

One thing, nephew Zhou Xian, don't forget that City Lord Sun will hold a meeting at the City Lord's Mansion at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow to discuss the rotation of troops at the different time and space node in Panlong Mountain in the second half of the year.

The heads of several big families in Ganyang City must be present in person, but your father's current situation can be represented by you at that time. "

More than 200 years ago, many nodes of different time and space suddenly appeared in various regions of the world.

Immediately, countless orcs and ferocious beasts continuously entered this world through different space-time nodes similar to the gate of time and space, and a war of killing each other among humans, orcs, and ferocious beasts broke out immediately. .

Fortunately for the Han and Tang Empires at that time, all of the 88 nodes of different time and space that appeared in the territory were fierce beasts.

And those human countries where the orcs sprang out of different time and space nodes in the territory were basically destroyed by the orcs in the end, thus establishing the six major orc countries today.

The Han and Tang Empires, founded on the basis of military force, were recognized as the most powerful country in the world at that time, with a land area of ​​more than 600 million square kilometers.

Even due to the strength of the Han and Tang Empire, other countries in the world have adopted the Han and Tang Empire's Tianyuan calendar even in their calendars.

However, the sudden appearance of a large number of ferocious beasts in various places still made the Han and Tang Empire, which had more than 200 million elite troops and tens of millions of warriors, struggling to cope.

In the end, the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empires had no choice but to appoint hundreds of Jiedu Envoys, large and small, who could control the military, finance, and personnel affairs of each region, in order to better coordinate the resources of each region and deal with this beast crisis.

The area controlled by Jiedushi was called "Fanzhen".

However, it is easy to let go of power, but it is difficult to take it back.

When the 88 nodes of different time and space in the Han and Tang Empire ceased to spew out a large number of fierce beasts, and the fierce beasts that had entered the territory were restrained to a certain extent, the Han and Tang Empire had already formed a situation of separatism.

Today, of the hundreds of feudal towns in the Han and Tang Empires, only 24 remain after continuous wars and annexations.

In addition to the Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empire, there are also some villages and towns around the Tiansheng City and the four Acropolis, which are still controlled by the court of the Han and Tang Empire.

Hundreds of other cities and tens of thousands of villages and towns in the Han and Tang Empires were controlled by 24 feudal towns.

At present, there are 88 different time and space nodes in the territory of the Han and Tang Empires, all of which are stationed with troops from various feudal towns, which are used to guard against fierce beasts that come out of different time and space nodes from time to time.

In Panlong Mountain, about [-] kilometers west of Ganyang City, there is a different time and space node. In the past, the garrison of Ganyang City had been stationed at this different time and space node in turn.

In the previous life, Zhou Rui was busy eating, drinking and having fun every day, so why would he attend such a meeting? It should be that his second uncle Zhou Xiaorong attended the meeting on behalf of the Zhou family.

But Zhou Rui suddenly remembered at this moment that it was not the Zhou family's turn to send troops to garrison the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain in the second half of the year.

But after this meeting, for some unknown reason, the garrison brigade, which had just been injured, sent the third infantry regiment to Panlong Mountain.

As a result, at the end of September, a wave of beasts broke out at the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain, and several lord-level beasts even appeared among them.

In this sudden beast horde, the third infantry regiment of the garrison brigade not only suffered heavy losses, but also caused the defense line of the different time and space node to fall, causing many villages and towns near Panlong Mountain to be destroyed by a large number of fierce beasts, and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured.

The Zhou family also had a lot of negative influence because the troops of the garrison brigade did not stop the beast tide. Even the military rank of Zhou Rui's father, Zhou Xiaozheng, was demoted from major general to colonel by the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion because of this incident.

Later, Zhou Rui asked his second uncle, Zhou Xiaorong, why the garrison brigade would rotate in advance to guard the different time and space node of Panlong Mountain?

Zhou Xiaorong just sighed and never told Zhou Rui the real reason.

"General Shen, at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the meeting on behalf of my father."

At night, in a study in Cui's mansion, Cui Tao reported to his father Cui Honghui in a deep voice: "Father, the coastal defense fleet of the Zhou family has received those three warships.

If you wait for the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet to completely form an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers into combat power, it will not be easy to bring down the Zhou family. "

Cui Hong nodded slightly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, Tao, I will think of a way for my father.

For you now, the most important thing is to marry that girl from the Liu family!

Now that Liu Dongsheng is seriously ill, and Liu Dongsheng has only one daughter, if you can marry that girl from the Liu family, then all the billions of dollars of the Liu family's wealth will belong to you! "

Cui Tao smiled confidently, "Father, don't worry, Liu Yiqiu has a deep love for me, and the Liu family's billions of dollars will eventually become my Cui family's help."

Chapter 13 Wanhualou

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Zhou Rui left the military port.
