Chapter 160: Appeal

"Blood Qijun!" Facing the officers of the Blood Qi Army who were riding on horses with their right hands in front of their hearts, and their armor was neat.

"Power and glory!" The officers responded in unison.

Naturally, this kind of etiquette is not very original, but at least it is more reliable than the etiquette mentioned in another book, such as "the iron armor is still there". And when these slogans, these simple but powerful etiquette in the army, have become a symbol of the powerful army of the Blood Qi Army, deeply soaked in the hearts of every Blood Qi Army sergeant.

The officer corps that came to greet Ye Tao was headed by Zou Shuangwen. Most of the remaining officers continued to work at Thunder Bluff. The post-war work of the Blood Qi Army was complicated but solid, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were all collected in coffins and sent back to their hometowns, and in each area there was an officer who had returned to Dongping who was responsible for giving pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers. These hand-picked officers were not necessarily of high rank, but they were all young men from large clans, and they would visit the magistrates and ask for some care for the families of the fallen soldiers. The officer corps that stayed in Yunzhou was responsible for disposing of the part of the spoils that the tribe generously allocated to the Blood Qi Army after the strangulation battle in Benwolf Plains before leaving. In fact, this is also a loophole, according to the usual practice of Dongping, the army participating in the war does not have the right to distribute the spoils of war by itself. However, the Blood Qi Army's participation in the Battle of Benwolf Yuan was in a form similar to that of the Alliance, and the tribe also treated the Blood Qi Army as an "ally", not only did they get a share of the spoils, but also a considerable share of the huge role they played in the battle. Since the Blood Qi Army gave up the right to distribute all the captured weapons, they received a total of more than 40,000 war horses, as well as a considerable part of the cattle and sheep carried by the northern tribes, as well as a considerable number of captured gold, silver, jewelry, and other land things. This is the first time in the past few years that the Blood Qi Army has made a large financial investment, naturally. It needs to be handled with caution.

And the more important reason is because His Majesty has put Xu Jingtian in charge of the reorganization of various armies in Yunzhou, and in terms of the restructuring of Tieyun Cavalry, some capable officers are needed. After that, a cavalry army consisting mainly of tribal warriors will be formed in Yunzhou, as well as a strong enough infantry army to prepare for future wars. In the future, Yunzhou will maintain a combat readiness force of about 100,000 people and a city defense army of 20,000 people, and the work of dismantling, restructuring, reorganizing, and training the existing army is extremely arduous and arduous. Dai Yun naturally volunteered to stay. With Dai Yun here, these have greatly reduced Yunzhou's original military strength. Now Dai Shiheng handed over the entire military affairs of Yunzhou to Xu Jingtian, and he was by Xu Jingtian's side to counsel the military aircraft and coordinate all parties, and Dai Yun finally officially stepped down as the overseer of the Blood Qi Army and served as the commander of the Tieyun Cavalry, taking on the heavy responsibility of rectifying the Tieyun Cavalry.

Tie Yunqi is an elite soldier in Yunzhou, although it is a descendant of the Dai family and the side lineage. In addition, there are all kinds of children of in-law families near and far, but there are also other local families, merchants, ranchers, etc. in Yunzhou who work together, and there are also many children of ordinary people in Yunzhou who strive to join Tieyunqi and protect their homes. It is precisely because of the coordination and cooperation of all aspects of Tieyunqi and the full cooperation of Yunzhou. This Yunzhou soldier has always been able to maintain high morale and combat effectiveness. In terms of the complexity of their composition, the types of Iron Cloud Riders and Blood Qijun are very similar. For this pure cavalry army, which is now lagging behind the Blood Qi Army in terms of equipment, training, and tactical thinking, but still has an extremely high level of cavalry combat quality, Dai Yun put many measures that have been verified in the Blood Qi Army to Tieyun Cavalry.

Compared with the beginning of the Blood Qi Army, a group of gentlemen played tickets, which can be regarded as zero-based in nature. Tieyun Cavalry is very solid in cavalry literacy, but compared to the Blood Qi Army, the biggest weakness is that the average cultural level of Tieyun Cavalry's soldiers is limited. In the Blood Qi Army, what new ideas and tactics have been figured out, as long as they can be explained clearly, everyone will quickly understand the training of various equipment, especially those complex heavy ordnance. The use of those rulers, slide rules, and the like, with the help of detailed instructions that are always attached to the things produced by the Ye Clan's Workshop, has never been an obstacle to the Blood Qi Army's rapid mastery of weapons, but when it comes to Tieyun Cavalry, this is a big problem. At least Dai Yun knew that some of the middle-level officers of Tieyun Cavalry were illiterate, and they had to rely on their relatives to read military orders...... In this case, Dai Yun especially needed those officers with considerable qualifications in the Blood Qi Army to assist him in the training of the Tieyun Cavalry. As long as you can improve your tactical literacy. As for the gap between equipment and the Blood Qi Army. In Dai Yun's view, as long as there is a person who is good at financial management in Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion to master. Naturally, it will not be a disadvantage to Tie Yunqi.

Dai Yun has been appointed as the first Overseer of the Blood Qi Army as the runner-up in the first Marching Chess Open Tournament, and it has been more than three years now, and he has been steadily occupying the position of Overseer with his solid military skills and enthusiastic and generous style. The Blood Qi Army has made military achievements in her hands and has become a strong force in the attention of Dongping. In the past few years, there have been many changes in the officers below, some have quit the Blood Qi Army or become a member of the auxiliary army that provides supporting services for the Blood Qi Army because of their age, some have entered the city defense army, border army and even the forbidden army in various places with what they have learned in the Blood Qi Army, and some have returned to their original life track after proving that they are indeed talented or not talented in the military, but more are young people with different backgrounds and complicated backgrounds who have entered the Blood Qi Army with a passion for the gradual expansion of the Blood Qi Army. Dai Yun has always adhered to the principle of fairness and justice formulated by Ye Tao of the Blood Qi Army, and implemented the competition into every detail, but in addition to this, Dai Yun has also continued to teach and promote the backwards, and comfort those who fail at certain stages or those who are not suitable for the style of the Blood Qi Army...... Dai Yun's prestige and appeal in the Blood Qi Army are really quite amazing.

And when Dai Yun decided to stay in Yunzhou to rectify Tieyunqi and ask some of his subordinates to stay in Yunzhou for a year or two to help her with this cause, no one expected that almost one-third of the officers expressed their willingness to stay. Many of the rest of the people said that they would stay in the Blood Qijun Army for another year, and then report to Yunzhou, or that they would help Tieyunqi through their homes or something. The officers of those cavalry arms will go directly to the Tieyun Cavalry to report after dealing with the legacy of the Blood Qi Army in Yunzhou, while those infantry officers will be seconded to Xu Jingtian to carry out the formation of the elite infantry army in Yunzhou.

"You ...... How could so many people leave the Blood Qi Army together? Isn't this the Blood Qi Army drained? Without you outstanding officers, the combat effectiveness of the Blood Qi Army will be greatly reduced. Ye Tao listened to Zou Shuangwen talk about these changes in time, and he was a little puzzled.

"My lord, we've all heard here about your quarrel with those sour people in Danyang. You shouldn't be concerned about anything else. The Blood Qi Army will most likely not have any battles in the future. Zou Shuangwen explained with a smile: "There are too many children of the family in the Blood Qi Army, although the damage in Yunzhou this time is not great, but it also makes many people inside and outside the court gossip. In the future, the Blood Qi Army may be a place that specializes in cultivating officers and educating the young children of Dongping. From entering the Blood Qi Army to being able to leave qualifiedly, it was about four years, and it seems that even the standards for military donations from various families are being formulated. And those outstanding soldiers from poor backgrounds will be paid generous salaries by the Blood Qi Army. …… Of course, this is still in the drafting stage. But you know, the Blood Qijun is too well informed, and if there is any trouble in the DPRK and China, our side may know faster than those officials in the DPRK and China who are not too high-level. There is a high chance that these terms will pass, and those of us who want to continue fighting and earn military merits must quickly leave the Blood Qi Army and find a place for ourselves. ”

Ye Tao pursed his lips and said helplessly: "You guys can really toss." …… However, the Blood Qi Army lost more than 10% this time, which is indeed very heart-wrenching. ”

Zou Shuangwen patted his leg and sighed: "That's the truth." If it is an ordinary army, even if it is a forbidden army, it is normal to lose more than half of a hard battle, not to mention the loss of more than 10%. Only by looking at the results can we say whether it is cost-effective or not. But the Blood Qi Army, with more than 10% of the losses, everyone felt that they couldn't stand it, and we ourselves were reluctant to send the soldiers up to fight hard. If there is a big war in the future, if the commander's neck is not hard enough, it is estimated that he will not dare to let the Blood Qi Army go to the battlefield to meet the enemy. Moreover, the soldiers of the Blood Qi Army are indeed comprehensive, but the time and energy spent on training are all there, compared to the money spent by the Blood Qi Army on equipment and logistics supplies, it is really nothing. ”

Ye Tao nodded and said, "However, how are you going to toss in Tieyunqi?" Tieyun Cavalry doesn't have such a generous military budget for you to use. ”

Zou Shuangwen shrugged his shoulders and said: "The specific equipment is still being agreed, the combat style of the Tieyun Cavalry is too different from the Blood Qi Army, and there is also a cavalry army on the tribal side to be formed, and how to coordinate the troops at that time is another problem." Speaking of which, my lord, the equipment of the 100 clan guards around you has changed very well, but it has inspired us to do something. ”

"Alas, you are willing to go to the battlefield and fight hard, I can only help you in the back. When you go back, you asked people to go to the Benwolf Plains to contact the tribe, didn't you say that there are iron-rich mines on the grassland? Get a few truckloads of ore samples. When my senior brother arrives, I will test the ingredients first, and if possible, the Yunzhou branch of the Ye Workshop's workshop will specialize in making ordnance. There is no need to transfer transportation from Danyang, so you can save some money. ”

Zou Shuangwen said happily: "That's great. However, compared to manufacturing ordnance in Yunzhou, you are here to save a lot of effort. There are so many kinds of equipment in the Blood Qi Army, plus the different models that have been changed before and after, most of them have your participation in the design improvement. This time, I still need to help with this. ”

Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's not a big deal." This time I came to Yunzhou, I guess I will have to work here for a long time, and I originally planned to set up the design department of Ye's Workshop here. In the future, you don't have to take care of any type of thing. ”
