Li Zhongyi deliberately interrupted and asked if he had caught Xizuo, Liao Shanhe knew that it was greasy, but he couldn't help but answer.

Liao Shanhe arched his hand and said, "Back to the Lord, the harvest ahead is not big. The people who rushed to the north from the small road caught a lot, but the time was too short, and there was no progress for the time being. ”

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that the meticulous work of these years and months, the utensils they used to transmit messages, in addition to wax pills, were oral messages.

Due to Li Jiajun's extensive use of password and password systems, including Jinyang, Shu and Southern Tang, they also used their own unique password systems.

According to Li Zhongyi's guess, Jinyang's cryptosystem should be a certain book, in short, it is to frame the real information on the letter in a fixed missing word format.

If he couldn't find that book, Li Zhongyi was not a genius in mathematical cryptography, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't figure out the true content of the letter that he was carrying.

Militarily, it is one of the areas where high technology is used the most. In particular, the password system is simple and easy to use, and you can learn to use it with a little brain.

Unless the code is deciphered, even if you catch the fine work mixed in the crowd, it is difficult to quickly identify it for a while.

This so-called magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high!

Li Zhongyi nodded and said: "As long as you block the detailed work to send back the news, you don't have to force the detailed work." ”

Having said that, Liao Shanhe was still a little uneasy, and he said angrily: "We have spent so much manpower and material resources, but we haven't even caught a single detail, and the letter with the password is really troublesome." ”

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, and comforted Liao Shanhe: "It's okay, after recovering Jinyang, I will summon the world's math people and order them to think about breaking the password every day, do you think it's good?" ”

"Then dare to be kind, and the subordinates are looking forward to the day when they break the password." Liao Shanhe knows Li Zhongyi's character, the main person has always been to do what he says, and never say meaningless empty words.

Li Zhongyi once said that as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. Recruit talented people, spend a little more time, and sooner or later break through the cryptographic systems of other countries.

The work of counter-detailing is and will continue to be done. As long as there is a huge difference of interests, or a potential threat, someone will send out a detailed work to spy on intelligence and pass on information.

When Li Zhongyi arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, the guards had already set up camp to rest, and the entire camp was immersed in a deep sleep, except for the staff of the army.

When the army is out on an expedition, the General Staff Department will assign more than half of the senators to participate in the planning work of the army.

The existence of the Senate Department helped the generals who led the troops, relieved a lot of trivial and transactional work, so that they only needed to think about the problem of winning the war, and did not have to worry about the route of the march, the queue of the battle, and the logistical baggage and other troublesome chores.

At first, everyone believed that the establishment of the General Staff Department was just to implement Li Zhongyi's basic principle of separation of powers and checks and balances in the army.

Now, all the generals who led the troops, without exception, are all aware that the existence of the Senate Department is definitely an epoch-making milestone in the military history of mankind.

The Senate Division, the map detailed down to the specific well, the tactical sand table with the unusually clear direction of the mountain, and the charted map of the logistics and material reserves, all of these are definitely not nonsense in vain, but have become an indispensable decision-making tool for the middle and senior generals in the Li family's army.

In the process of warfare, from ancient times to modern times, the field of military intelligence has become more and more detailed, and generals have increasingly relied on various tools to assist decision-making.

For example, reconnaissance satellites in the sky, reconnaissance aircraft, various sensors on the ground, and so on.

In a war, who has more information, even if it is only a short period of time in advance, is enough to change the course of the war.

Under the standardized training system, Li Jiajun now does not lack brave soldiers, but more excellent auxiliary officers and personnel.

The Senate Department, the Logistics Department, and the Military Judge Advocate Advocate General's Department are all short of people everywhere, especially qualified and useful personnel, and everyone will rush to ask for them.

No matter what century it is, the competition for talent is always the top priority for the rulers.

After dismounting in front of the gate, Li Zhongyi did not immediately enter the big tent of the Chinese army, but turned around and went to the big tent of the military staff department on the left.

The guard in front of the door saw Li Zhongyi coming, and was about to beat his chest and salute, Li Zhongyi hurriedly raised his index finger in front of his mouth and signaled the guard to silence.

Li Zhongyi likes to see the real phenomenon, and does not want to be deceived by the illusion created by his subordinates, so he often checks the work status of his subordinates coldly.

The higher the so-called status, the farther away from the masses, and the longer the chain of information transmission.

Most of the founding monarchs in history knew the suffering of the people, so they were not easily deceived by the bureaucracy. After the dynasty has gone through more than three generations, the heirs of the empire have been with the women of the deep palace all the year round, living a good life of fine clothes and food, and it is easy to have a big joke about why not eat minced meat.

When Li Zhongyi paced into the Senate department's big tent, the tent was in full swing, and he couldn't help but stop and listen to the content of everyone's quarrel.

"Our army has achieved mule and horse, at least 90 miles a day, more than three times faster than the ordinary army, and it will definitely be able to catch Jinyang off guard."

"You're thinking too simply, it's sunny now, and the bronze cannon team can still keep up with the big team. If it's raining heavily and the roads are muddy, will you be able to keep up? ”

"There is a basis for what I said, the artillery team of the artillery battalion is equipped with sandbags and sapper shovels to prevent mud, and when necessary, it is completely possible to build a passage for the artillery trucks to travel."

"Otherwise, otherwise, if it is a heavy rainstorm, will the sandbags be enough?"

"As long as the sandbag is not crushed, it can be used continuously, but it is not good, and you can also pad the stone slab......"

Li Zhongyi listened silently, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, the importance of bronze artillery to Li Jiajun was needless to say.

The problem is that the movement of bronze artillery is deeply affected by terrain, roads and weather conditions.

The army during the period of imperial autocracy, whether it was an internal war or an external war, the role played by ordinary people was just shoulder-to-shoulder.

However, after Li Zhongyi grasped the real power of the Great Zhou, the township troops organized and trained in various places became a vital help in the march of the army.

Under the predicament that the official roads were not yet perfect, or even in disrepair, the township troops in each county, pavilion, and village were completely able to organize the sturdy men among the villagers and play the role of temporary road construction teams in various localities along the way.

After Li Zhongyi came to power, he did not immediately cancel the conscription, but really canceled it, but did bad things with good intentions.

The logic is very simple, the core of the reason why forced labor is terrible is that the magistrate can use it to recklessly rectify people, which can often easily cause many tragedies of family ruin and people's livelihood.

Although Li Zhongyi did not abolish the conscription, he made special regulations prohibiting local officials from apporting the conscription, and handed over the right to arrange the conscription to the inspection envoys of various prefectures and counties.

Without exception, the inspection envoys of various prefectures and counties were all transferred officers selected from the Li Jiajun.

Li Zhongyi has made strict and clear restrictions on the scope of conscription, in addition to building bridges and paving roads for the common benefit cause, that is, collectively helping others. For example, helping widows and lonely people repair houses and carry water.

During the period of imperial autocracy, if the magistrate deliberately did evil, the pain of forced labor was far more than ten times more bitter than the high rent.

After all, Li Zhongyi is the soul of modern people, and he has never had the idea of using the people's power in vain, and the expenses for building bridges and paving roads in the name of conscription are all allocated by the official warehouse to allocate grain and money.

has continued to the current review of the township army, Li Zhongyi can be said to grasp it with both hands, and both hands should be hard. It not only requires that the township army contingent basically meet the requirements of the national defense strategic reserve force, but also requires that the township army contingent can be pulled out to repair bridges and pave roads anytime and anywhere.

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

When the road is opened, it is easy for merchants to come in and do business, and local goods can be sold smoothly, which is an extremely simple principle.

Senate officers, quarreling and debating the past, in the final analysis, is still a question: is the road smooth?

There is no way, the road to Jinyang, although Chai Rong began to recruit people to renovate when he was in power, the progress was extremely slow.

It is no exaggeration to say that the road survey report before the dispatch of troops clearly recorded the following facts: from Kaifeng to Jinyang official road, at least more than two-thirds, it was impossible to smoothly transport artillery teams.

What Li Zhongyi brought out of Kaifeng were all light 6-pounder guns, and if it was a 12-pounder cannon weighing more than 1,000 catties, it would be even more difficult to move an inch.

"I said, in the opinion of a certain family, it is better to simply order the village army along the way to build two roads for the passage of wheels only. As a result, the overhead is minimal, the cost is minimal, and the results are very fast. Imagine it, only the wheels are wide? We only need to temporarily reinforce the rutted road that is slightly wider than the wheels, and we can smoothly tow the gun truck to Jinyang and even Youzhou. ”

Li Zhongyi pondered carefully, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, isn't this a variant of the train track?

No wonder the old saying goes, three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, and the free talk of brainstorming can easily collide with sparks and bring unexpected inspiration.

"Brother Youwu, you really deserve to be the famous Zhiduoxing in our General Staff Department......

"Good, good, good......"

"Save labor, save materials, save time, all three are saved, good, very good......"

"Great Good ......"

Li Zhongyi is naturally no stranger to this enlightened brother, and enlightenment is his cousin, his real name is Zhang Fuji, the former team leader of the Hechi Township Army, and the current command-level senatorial officer of the Senate Division.

In the entire Li Jiajun, the General Staff Department is actually the most ideologically active department. As long as it is behind closed doors, the officers of the Senate can say anything, and they do not need to bear any responsibility.

Li Zhongyi didn't bother everyone, he paused for a moment, turned around and left the big tent, and paced back to the main tent of the Chinese army.
