After so many twists and turns, Lin Jing still decided to leave the Royal Forest Guards and take charge of the Martial Arts Department.
Ouyang Shuo had his own reasons for making such an arrangement.
Firstly, if Xie Siyun took charge of the Royal Forest Guards, Lin Jing would be seen as monopolizing the Royal Forest Guards. It would not be in line with the plans the court had for the Royal Forest Guards.
Transferring Lin Jing away was the general trend.
Secondly, the status of the expanded Martial Arts Department had changed drastically. It was now a super organization of the Empire that was responsible for the safety of the Martial Arts World.
Lin Jing taking charge of the Martial Arts Department was a great advantage for Bing'er.
As for the other three generals who were promoted to commanders, it was considered a normal promotion. It was equivalent to opening up a channel for a commander to be promoted to a commander of an army. This gave the other generals hope.
Other than the six generals, the first batch of troops was only 5,000 people. This included the 1,000 Shenwu Guards led by Xu Chu and two independent brigades.
The 1,000 Shenwu Guards were all cyborgs. They were the backbone of Ouyang Shuo's safety and also the backbone of the land clearing team.
Just this alone cost Ouyang Shuo 50 million Achievement Points.
The two independent brigades were led by Bai Qi and Han Xin respectively. They were of a high standard and could be considered the prototype of the future land clearing army.
In the independent brigades, only 100 officers were cyborgs. Two-thirds of the soldiers were combat robots, and one-third of them were combat players selected from the Royal Forest Guards.
This ratio ensured the absolute loyalty of the army.
Other than the civil officials and generals, Ouyang Shuo had also made meticulous arrangements for the intelligence system. Among the two intelligence chiefs, the Black Snake Guard's commander, Black Snake, would follow Ouyang Shuo to Planet Hope.
When Ouyang Shuo was around, Black Snake would not dare to play tricks.
However, without Ouyang Shuo, the Black Snake Guard was always active overseas. Ouyang Shuo was very worried if Bing'er would still be able to control this dangerous intelligence organization.
Bringing Black Snake along was a necessary choice.
Of course, the land clearing on Planet Hope also required a top intelligence specialist like Black Snake to collect information on Planet Hope. This was to prevent the same mistakes as Hope City.
The Mountain Sea Guards' commander, Shen Bu Hai, would also be transferred to the Black Snake Guard's commander.
This arrangement was a form of mutual restriction.
Cui Tianqi, the Guardian of the Shadow Guards, was promoted to the commander of the Mountain Sea Guards.
Cui Tianqi had been Bing'er's follower since she was young, and he was extremely loyal to Ouyang Shuo and his sister. With Cui Tianqi in charge of the Mountain Sea Guards, it was equivalent to giving Bing'er a protective talisman.
In this way, the Imperial Cabinet, the Royal Forest Guards, the Martial Arts Department, and the Mountain Sea Guards all had people that Bing'er could rely on. This was basically the foundation for Bing'er to become the Regent.
Ouyang Shuo was still dissatisfied, and he wished for nothing more than to arrange things more appropriately.
Even his wife, Song Jia, was a little jealous.
Among the civil officials, Governor Yi Tian Wenjing had once been the governor of Qiongzhou. He was one of Bing'er's old subordinates and had a history with Bing'er. He was one of Bing'er's assistants.
Not only that, but Ouyang Shuo also took the opportunity to promote a group of officials from Qiongzhou as support.
At this point, the great adjustment of the Xia Kingdom finally came to an end, and the court meeting also came to an end. Under the witness of a group of loyal ministers of the empire, Bing'er began to embark on the road of regent.
A new page had been opened in the history of the Great Xia.
…
On the afternoon of the 5th of May, in the Great Xia Kingdom Palace.
Gaia appeared in Ouyang Shuo's imperial study again and asked directly, "Have you drafted the name list?" The name list that Gaia mentioned was the name list of the Great Xia people who were going to the Hope Planet.
Other than the ministers, generals, low-level officials, and the army, there was also a special group of people in the pioneering team. They were all sorts of craftsmen and skilled people who had been selected from the empire on a voluntary basis.
The total number of people in this group was as high as 20,000.
More than half of them were life profession players, and they were mainly Chinese.
This made Ouyang Shuo very touched.
This meant that in the face of great right and wrong, in the face of the survival of mankind, Ouyang Shuo was not the only one who could stand up. This included the combat professional players from the Royal Forest Guards. All of them were in high spirits.
This kind of spirit that was not afraid of hardships and was willing to sacrifice itself was the foundation of the continuation of mankind.
"Done!"
Ouyang Shuo sent the name list directly to Gaia via email. In the entire game world, Ouyang Shuo was the only one who had a Gaia mailbox.
"In the next two days, I will transfer these people to the two starships. When the time comes, you can go offline and familiarize yourself with the operation of the starship. I also have a big gift for you, "Gaia instructed.
"Definitely."
Ouyang Shuo was looking forward to the big gift that Gaia mentioned.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the Arab Empire had not responded to the pressure on Great Xia. It was likely that they had not made a decision.
Ouyang Shuo did not want to drag it on. He immediately ordered the South Asian First Army and Second Army to cross the border and officially declare war on the Arab Empire.
It seemed that the matter could not be pushed forward without some bloodshed.
If not for the fact that time was tight, Ouyang Shuo would not have wanted to go to war. However, there was no time to delay. He had to end the war quickly and unify Asia as soon as possible.
Attacking the Arab Empire was also to strengthen the prestige of Great Xia.
At the same time, Gaia was making rapid progress. The game capsules of the pioneering team had all been gathered on the two starships. They could leave the main force at any time and go on their own.
On the starships, apart from the personnel, Gaia had also prepared a large number of resources, including engineering robots, reconnaissance satellites, drones, all kinds of nutrients, and even various vegetable seeds.
Even the various livestock that they brought from Earth were sent to the starships.
In short, Gaia had already provided all the resources that the pioneering team needed in the early stages. This was much more abundant than the resources provided by the feudal lords when they dared to establish villages in the game world.
After all, reality was crueler than the game.
Before the game capsules were transferred to the starships, Ouyang Shuo and his family specially went offline to have a small family gathering. Song Jia, Bing'er, Xie Siyun, Lin Jing, Yu'er and Luo'er were all present.
It was also a way to send Ouyang Shuo off.
That night, although his wife, Song Jia, forced a smile on her face, everyone could feel her reluctance and sadness. Bing'er was crying so hard that she did not look like the Regent at all.
Yu'er and Luo'er had just become sensible. Seeing their aunt crying, they also cried loudly.
Even Lin Jing's eyes were filled with tears.
The scene of that night was engraved in Ouyang Shuo's mind. He would never forget it.
He did not know when he would be able to reunite with his family after this farewell. To put it bluntly, one mishap and this farewell might be an eternal farewell.
Life was unpredictable, fate was unpredictable, and creation was unpredictable.
On the 8th of May, when Ouyang Shuo came out of the game capsule again, he was already on the starship named Great Xia. Gaia very carefully arranged a separate room for him.
Ouyang Shuo could not wait to understand this starship.
