Chapter 501 There are many party disputes

Zhang Ci didn't say much to Kong Xinhua, just sighed and asked him to pay more attention to his own safety, although he himself has a good army, but the damage was not small when he robbed the road before, in addition, let him take on the responsibility of organizing precision equipment for the Imperial Forest Army and the Eastern Route Army through his channels, and also collect high-quality steel as much as possible and supply it to the airship workshop for testing. Kong Xinhua sensed Zhang Ci's exhaustion, and he didn't say anything more in person, but after a month and ten days, he transported a large number of things to Yanjing and asked Situ Lian and Zhang Ci, as well as several generals of the Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Forest Army to receive them. There were 170 monoculars, 24 binoculars, 1,100 catties of high-quality steel ingots produced by Liyang, 217 cavalry blades, 46 deputy blades, and all kinds of conventional military supplies. As for ordinary goods, he wants to sell them in Beiliao, although he has given enough gifts to several backstagers, but he will not put them in this place.

When asked how Kong Xinhua got this batch of things, Kong Xinhua "hesitated" and revealed, on the one hand, he tried to collect them from the retired sergeants through his family, and on the other hand, he colluded with the pirates who were walking outside to rob a merchant ship from Dongping to Chunnan. Actually, it wasn't a robbery, but the ship ran aground on a small island in a storm, and the pirates happened to catch it. The delivery of these things naturally made the two deputies of the Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Forest Army very excited, and they felt that it was even more cost-effective for them to stand on Kong Xinhua's side before. They had a bad relationship with the Western Route Army, because the Western Route Army took up too much military spending, which made them really unable to develop, and now, everything has improved. When Kong Xinhua began to serve the imperial court and provided various materials for the Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Forest Army, they could also quickly arm a group of elite soldiers. Of course, elite soldiers are not only equipment, but also require a lot of training and actual combat experience, but in the face of a large army like Dongping, it is absolutely impossible to do without equipment. After getting this batch of things, several generals of the Eastern Route Army hurriedly sent the things to the front line first. The Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Forest Army have already started the battle to conquer the northeastern border of the Qing Dynasty, although at this time they sent a batch of equipment a little afterthought, but they are fighting with a force known for reconnaissance and sabotage, and if they can have a little more reconnaissance force, it will be improved in any case.

For Kong Xinhua, it is not difficult to get this batch of things at all, although the Dongping Navy Division on the sea is blockading, but for him, he can always use a two-masted fast cargo ship to drill through the patrol line of Dongping and reach the coast of Beiliao. In fact, in order to facilitate Kong Xinhua's movements, Dongping Sailor did not use airships to conduct reconnaissance at all. However, as soon as this batch of things arrived, the guys who had been fighting with several ministers standing on the side of the Western Route Army immediately became excited, and the court quarreled. They've had enough of it in the past month, and now they're going to use chicken feathers as arrows when they catch such a small thing. And Kong Xinhua, naturally, made persistent efforts in such an atmosphere, he successively transported two batches of things, rushed and landed on the coast of Beiliao, and destroyed two cargo ships, but these two ships of things made Kong Xinhua's name hot. He brought in 270 catties of natural rubber, two groups of ballista rangefinders and sights in the main battle units of Dongping, a detailed drawing of a standard ballista, and a whole ship of semi-finished parts and components from the airship workshop in Chunnan...... When Kong Xinhua got these two batches of goods, he was in a cold sweat, until he learned that this was a list listed by Ye Tao himself, and it would not have any adverse impact on Dongping, so he obediently handed it over. Kong Xinhua was immediately summoned by the Northern Liao royal court, and then he was rewarded heavily, and even gave him some small privileges for his usual legitimate business. That's also natural, after all, you can't open the way for his smuggling, not to mention that this is inconsistent with legal principles, and rewarding it with great fanfare is likely to attract Dongping's attention. Everyone knows that there are definitely not a few spies in Dongping in Northern Liao.

In this way, relying on two batches of important goods, Kong Xinhua immediately won the trust of many people. And he was also good at dancing with long sleeves, and soon broke into the social circles of those ministers. You know, Kong Xinhua is by no means short of gifts, he now has the largest source of goods in Dongping and Chunnan, and if you want to talk about practicality, delicacy and craftsmanship, you can count Dongping's good goods, and if you want to say historical origin and luxury style, Chunnan is slightly better. He took a large number of things that could not be seen on the market at all, and he was invincible. With a flexible mind, he even reminded several ministers of the strategy of dealing with the Western Route Army without a trace in several garden banquets, which made those bigwigs in the DPRK and China more and more blind to him, and no one suspected that he was actually a spy of Dongping.

But in just two months, the situation of the Northern Liao Dynasty has changed dramatically, although it still revolves around the core topic of how to resist Dongping, but the confrontation between the Western Route Army and other forces has become more and more intense, the Eastern Route Army, the Imperial Forest Army and the newly formed Liqin Army have become more and more fierce in their competition for resources, and the various situations of the Western Route Army have become more and more fierce. Gao Senqi's father and son couldn't help but start to feel a little disheartened, they actually didn't have any second thoughts, but why didn't the court believe it? Why is it that at such a critical moment of life and death, there is still a situation full of party contention?

At this time, Ye Tao, who had already returned to Yejiabao for the second round of all-out offensive, was relaxed. As the command center of the entire north, Yejiabao is also the home that he has been operating for many years, and it has a special sense of intimacy compared to the official residence in the Northern Xinjiang Jingluo Mansion in Gondor. And now, Yejiabao is also the core of the Ye family. Although there are only a few people in the Ye family, their respective energies are not small. And Yejiabao, because it is equipped with almost all the latest equipment, convenience and comfort, even the Dongping Palace can only be admired and admired.

Ye Tao sat in the study with a wide field of vision and a good landscape, the turntable on the side rotated slowly, and the room was wafting with fresh and bright guzheng music, naturally, it was from the handwriting of Liu Xiangyuan, the first guzheng master in Dongping. Since there is such a thing as a turntable, Liu Xiangyuan, who has been declared far and wide, as an excellent musician and an even better troupe leader, has spread his fame to the world with the turntable. Now there is only one place in the world that can record a turntable: Danyang. So far, there are only 20 recorded albums, of which two are Liu Xiangyuan's. Record players are such magical things, and wherever they are sold, they will naturally be able to transmit these wonderful sounds.

And Ye Tao's hand was a large pile of papers. Ye Tao feels very lucky, he started his life as a carpenter in this time and space, there is no heavy study, no computer, although the body is very solid due to perennial exercise and running on the battlefield, and even his eyesight has not been damaged. If he wanted to read this kind of document in the previous plane, he would have to wear glasses with a bit of power. Although glasses have been produced in this time and space, and are regarded as a great blessing by people all over the world, they are not a sign of health after all.

Reading these documents, Ye Tao became more and more aware of the current situation, and the various comparisons made in the details allowed him to draw a lot of conclusions. For example, Chunnan's recent actions are very strange, and for example, the Northern Liao Dynasty was actually stirred up because of a smuggling merchant named Kong Xinhua. Regarding Kong Xinhua's matter, Ye Tao was quite proud. Kong Xinhua is indeed a guy who dares to act and think. It was a great and decisive decision to send two sets of airship parts to Beiliao. Airship? Ye Tao really doesn't take it to heart, not to mention that Ye's Workshop Research Institute already has some ideas about small internal combustion engines and fixed-wing aircraft, even if it is a big battle between airships and airships, Dongping, which is comprehensively ahead in speed, altitude, load, and means of attack, can only repair the opponent's airship team more miserably. Speaking of which, Ye Tao really has a headache, what if the other party fully deploys passive defense measures. For the airship, it is still very reassuring.

Ye Tao looked at his cup, and the tea was finished. He rang the bell on the table, but it was Dai Yun and Tan Weixin who immediately walked into the study, although Dai Yun was carrying a teapot, he looked absent-minded. Putting the teapot on the table, Ye Tao poured delicious hot tea for everyone and asked, "Yun'er, what's wrong?" ”

Dai Yun sighed and said, "I originally wanted Lao Yu to take care of him a little more, but I didn't expect him to be tired." This Xiling front-line defense is a little problematic. Uncle has passed, but although Uncle has no problem commanding operations, he is always a little patient with such things as forming and training garrison battalions. Moreover, there are now 14 garrison battalions, with a total of more than 350,000 people, which has reached the limit of the supply of our Yunzhou and Benwolf Plains. I want to simply suspend the construction of the army completely, and rely on the current army to fight. However, when I turned back to the big battle, I felt a little uneasy......"

Ye Tao smiled and said, "What's not at ease? Since the supply limit has been reached, then stop building the army. I think a hundred garrison battalions are enough. You've figured out how to upgrade the extra old garrison battalion. Put a few main battle camps on the side of Xiling, even if it is newly formed, but the posture is enough first. As for financial and material resources...... I think there will be good news in Beiliao in two months. ”

Tan Weixin remained silent and said calmly: "I originally only thought that I was enough Scrooge, but I didn't expect Sister Yun to be more ruthless than me." Do you know what the supply limit is? Only the standing warehouse, not the war reserve warehouse, and the emergency funds and materials of the economic strategy government will not be moved...... Fighting like this, if Beiliao knows about it, don't be angry, then really don't fight. ”

Hehe...... Ye Tao laughed, and Dai Yun also laughed a little, she knew that Yunzhou's foundation was still quite thick, but after all, she had seen the general catalog of expenses so far, and those numbers added up to be too shocking, which made Dai Yun, a guy who was used to fighting the battle of diligence and frugality, a little uncomfortable. Dai Yun hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The army training is so decided. Then, I proposed, on the Xiling side, to mobilize a group of troops in a short period of time to carry out a short-term, high-intensity, and large-depth annihilation war. If such a battle is fought, at least for a year, it will be difficult for Xiling to bother us. ”

Ye Tao was a little interested in this question, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh, let's talk about it in detail......
