Chapter 290: A multi-pronged approach
After Ye Tao roughly said what he had said to Tan Xiaopei and the others, the whole venue fell silent. The expressions on the faces of everyone present were different, some were excited, some were hesitant, some were confused, and some were worried...... And on such occasions, the first to express his opinion was Suo Zheng, who was bound to be dizzy by the huge and complicated supply work at that time.
As the logistics chief of the Yunzhou army, Suo Zheng's status in the Yunzhou Command is much higher than his rank. In addition to personally commanding the baggage battalion, the logistics system he established had several officers in each battalion who were responsible for liaising and arranging various affairs, and Suo Zheng was a person who had a lot of say in the army of Yunzhou.
"I knew about Senior Brother Ye's plan a few days earlier than some of you here, and I have already roughly calculated and thought about the plan based on our current situation in the past few days. I can responsibly say that there is no problem in logistically guaranteeing that about 20 battalions will go out of the country to fight. The establishment of the baggage battalion is only a small amount, but now with the addition of regularly hired people, chariots, horses, and manpower temporarily requisitioned from the chariot and horse shops, the total number of people in Yunzhou to ensure logistics supply is actually around 15,000. As for the transport capacity, it can actually guarantee high-intensity operations of about three months for 30 to 35 battalions. Now that I have time to prepare, I can actually think of various ways to make some emergency plans to ensure that in case of weather or military changes, I can have surplus food in my hands, and there will be no shortage of arrows, fire oil bombs and other things needed for heavy equipment battalions. Suo Zheng said with full certainty: "The question is, is it possible to ensure that this campaign will be completed within three months, and after the battle is completed, how long will it take to stabilize the place, and how long will it take to supply the troops stationed on the spot for a long time?" In order to have more room for battle, the last general suggested that we should send more troops? ”
Everyone still didn't say anything. But there has been a slight change in his expression. Originally, it was not that everyone didn't want to fight, but they didn't know what Ye Tao had to do with such a plan again. At present, everyone in Yunzhou does not doubt the combat effectiveness of the army, but what they are worried about is the problem of supply and regulation. After all, what you have to do is something that no one has done before.
Suo Zheng's words opened everyone's minds, Xu Yao thought for a while, and asked, "Ye Jingluo, what General Suo said makes sense." The Zhenbei Military Division now has a total of more than 100,000 troops. Although in terms of combat strength, if our side can send out twenty battalions, or even only ten battalions, it should not have any problem to defeat the enemy. However, if the number of troops is small, there will be less room for adaptation if something happens. Alternatively, we can use the main force of twenty battalions, plus a considerable number of auxiliaries and baggage troops. So that the number of people used by our side is not less than seventy percent of the current military strength of the Zhenbei Military Division. Moreover, we should still overestimate the military strength of the other side. Although Jiang Xujing has been anxious in the past few years, after all, the name of the No. 1 cavalry general in the north is still there, on the one hand, we have to guard against whether he will hide a hand, and on the other hand. It is also necessary to imagine the possibility of jumping over the wall in a hurry and temporarily recruiting a large number of cannon fodder to harass and impact. Moreover, due to the strong religious atmosphere in the north of Xiling. The people's barbaric fanaticism, which is actually quite possible. After saying the above words seriously, Xu Yao's tone changed and said: "In order to conduct larger-scale operations in the future, since my lord also said that this battle will test the military strength of Yunzhou and run in the troops. Please also seriously consider it, is it for us to have two more battalions of Jingyun Cavalry? ”
As soon as Xu Yao competed for the quota of troops, the atmosphere in the venue immediately became wrong. Everyone jumped out one by one to compete for a place in the battle, or to provide their own opinions and suggestions. Not only the military, but also local governance cover, secrecy and cooperation need to be fully followed. In particular, Suo Zheng put forward the idea of storing and transporting materials in advance, which reminded the people of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of many means, and even they began to ask if they wanted the merchants they arranged to start stockpiling grain on the spot, carrying the name of profiteers to prepare for the march of the army.
Everyone gradually discovered that the original combat plan could be linked to all aspects of the entire Yunzhou region. This time the attack on the Zhenbei Military Division. It is likely to evolve into a comprehensive test of the strength and execution of various departments in Yunzhou.
Since the implementation of the battle plan inevitably requires the preparation of a large amount of materials in advance, it will cause fluctuations in market prices. In order not to attract the attention of the outside world, the Bureau of Commerce and Trade and the Bureau of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry also have to come up with a series of measures to regulate and control the economy; on the one hand, it is necessary for the development of Yunzhou now, and on the other hand, it is also possible to use all kinds of tricks to make people who do not know why they think that it is the inevitable consequence of Yunzhou's economic policy adjustment, and as long as the adjustment is completed, it will be fine. In ordinary trade, it is inconvenient for the Economic and Trade Bureau to intervene in the market in a big way, but in Yunzhou, it is still no problem to find a few low-key and reliable businessmen to come forward to buy all kinds of military and civilian things that need to be used in preparations. The Yunzhou Economic and Trade Bureau has a complete set of countermeasures for the trade of various types of food, weapons, horses, medicinal materials, etc., which are related to the army, such as the end-user certificate of ordnance and horses, the quota system, the sales and profit rebate system, and the qualification certification system for the sellers of ordnance and horses...... If these measures are implemented one by one, a set of effective regulation and control of the basic market by the Yunzhou Economic Strategy Government can be formed. All of this was prepared by Tan Weixin for the sake of Yunzhou's good market mechanism and the transfer of modern economic management methods, with the original intention that in the future war of reunification, the impact of the war on the daily lives of the common people would be reduced, and that she would do her best to ensure that economic development would not be greatly affected.
Attacking the Zhenbei Military Division was only a local war for Dongping, but for Yunzhou, it was necessary to use all its forces and not slack off. Everyone expressed their opinions one by one around a goal, whether it was a relevant official or not, if they didn't understand, they would ask, and if they felt that something was inappropriate, they would put it forward in person. But for Chen Kai, this was very shocking, he never expected that the officialdom atmosphere in Yunzhou would be so harmonious.
For example, in order to improve the level of grain reserves, the Economic and Trade Bureau suggested that the army's alcohol ration be reduced in a short period of time.
Golan, on the other hand, was worried that Yunzhou's increased reserves of military horses and other supplies would reduce the income of the tribe and weaken the enthusiasm of the tribe's people. After some mediation, an interesting plan was introduced. The Yunzhou Economic Strategy Government will provide a one-time subsidy to agriculture and animal husbandry within a year, and some of these subsidies will be distributed directly as compensation for the losses caused by the failure of many products to enter the circulation channels, while the other part will be converted into war bonds, depending on the situation of the operation in the Zhenbei Military Division this time, there is a certain risk. Unexpectedly, Golan, who was originally serious and worried, played a trick on this ratio, he was very confident in this battle, and his influence on the tribe was strong enough, he chose this one-time subsidy for the tribe Eighty percent of the part of the war bond was converted into war bonds. And Dai Shizai, who came forward on behalf of all the Invalids Farms and Ranches in Yunzhou, looked at this friend who had known him for many years with a wry smile, and looked at the brothers Dai Shijin, Dai Shiheng, and Dai Shikui, who couldn't help laughing out loud at the conference table, and still followed their original ideas, sixty percent war bonds, and forty percent cash. However, Dai Shizai put forward a request: at least one battalion of the Invalids Farm will participate in the war as an auxiliary army, and in addition, the logistics and baggage services will be given priority to the Invalids Farm system. The veterans of the Invalides Farm, as well as the aspiring teenagers, must have liked this kind of thing very much.
Not long after Chen Kai first arrived in Yunzhou, while familiarizing himself with the various systems of Yunzhou, he was adjusting the team of the three civil affairs departments. But the various resolutions and proposals at the meeting could make him miserable, and although it was much more convenient to use a pencil and a thick piece of writing paper to record than to use a brush, he had used it very easily, but unlike most of the people present. Most people just need to focus on things related to themselves, but he can't. Before the meeting, Tan Weixin specially told him to discover all aspects that might have loopholes. Although Yunzhou's style is not to easily suspect anyone, it will never tolerate anyone. The power used by the three civil affairs departments now is very pure, almost all of them are people from the internal government and the intelligence bureau, and there is no problem with loyalty, it depends on how Chen Kai can let such an institution play a supervisory role.
Although Chen Kai regretted that he did not bring the paperwork to the meeting together, he made a mistake in recording and annotating conscientiously. He was a little self-deprecating to find that Ye Tao hoped that he could have the Chen family's genetics in insight into those ghost tricks, but what he didn't expect was that he really did. Although he had only handled some simple business in the past because he was young, at the meeting, he listened to various strategies little by little, and all kinds of tricks kept coming to his mind to be greedy and make personal profits. This instant reaction startled even himself...... Perhaps, he is really suitable for this job, Chen Kai couldn't help but think.
