Chapter 353: Please

"Let's go back to the villa at once!" When the good news and bad news came one after another, although Tan Xiaopei only knew that the mountain villa was now the center of Ye Tao's handling of all things, and did not know the specific situation, he still agreed. However, when he came to the villa area after a day and a half of travel, Tan Xiaopei was surprised. The current villa is completely different from the villa that was used as a new house when Ye Tao and Tan Weixin got married. At the foot of the villa, a whole new building was lined up, forming an entire fortress complex, and in these buildings, in addition to a considerable number of sergeants, guards and people who served Ye Tao's family and the entire villa, there was also a complete set of communications, command, staff and management teams. The Jinglu Mansion in Danyang is only the executive body of all strategies, and the office of a large number of civilian staff, and all decisions can be made here without hindrance.

When Tan Xiaopei and Ye Tao went to the starting place of the villa together, Feiying had already sent Tan Xiaopei's edict to Danyang: from now on, all intelligence documents will be sent to the villa, and Tan Xiaopei will understand the situation and make a decision in the villa, and the Yunzhou Information Bureau has also actively cooperated, temporarily adding three flights of airships from the villa to and from Dongjiaji. Now, the airship crews of the Messenger Bureau are the most experienced in night sailing in the whole world, and they can ensure that important documents arrive the next day from Dongjiaji to the villa. On this plane, this is a terrible efficiency.

The road leading from Danyang to the villa is a wide cement road with bright yellow spraying rubber signs. In normal times, even if Ye Tao's car was driving, he only traveled on the right side, and saluted the messengers, soldiers, and car drivers who came from the opposite side. But Tan Xiaopei's arrival is different, the entire wide road is one-way, so that Tan Xiaopei's car is in the middle of the road.

Judging from the carriage, looking at the soldiers of the Guards Cavalry Battalion and the Guards Infantry Battalion, who were standing neatly all the way, and the soldiers of the Guards Infantry Battalion, who were already fighting with the forbidden army, and the uniformed staff of various departments, Tan Xiaopei still saw something. Although the Guards Cavalry and Guards Infantry are very good in appearance, they are very different from the Forbidden Army in temperament. Compared with the forbidden army, the Guards Cavalry Battalion and the Guards Infantry Battalion are more like actual combat troops, their equipment is more worn, and the armor is certainly polished, so that the brass accessories on it fully show their brilliance, but the saddles, stirrups, and weapons on their bodies are completely unadorned things, which are completely consistent with the main battle troops of Yunzhou.

When he entered the servo complex at the foot of the mountain, Tan Xiaopei was even more surprised. There is a special area for sending and receiving information documents and letters, a special area for document processing, a special living area, and even a special place for sports activities. From the outside, it looks like a heavily guarded fortress complex, and in fact, it is. The height of the outer wall is roughly equivalent to the height of the town level, but the wall is so wide that two carriages can run side by side. The density of ballistas and Greek fire vents on the walls is extremely exaggerated. This is not surprising to anyone, after all, Yip's workshop now relies on these small and medium-sized ballista production to train apprentices and apprentices in the ordnance workshop, so that they can understand the technology and management system of ordnance production. But in fact, due to the increasingly terrible production efficiency of Ye's workshop, the production capacity of ordinary city defense ballistae of this size is greater than the speed at which Dongping's armies at all levels can accept new equipment plus the speed at which they are exported to Chunnan. What about the excess capacity? Now it is basically directly transported to various cities and passes in Yunzhou to strengthen defense, and even a large number of things have been sent to the Tan family's Jiangshan Fort and the Dai family's Tianling Fort for them to play. Now, except for the heavy equipment battalion, the main combat battalion of Yunzhou has its own professional training and has little time. But the garrison camp in Yunzhou has a considerable number of ballistas to play with. The garrison battalion now conducts training in ballista operations almost daily. Now, if anyone really invades Yunzhou without opening their eyes, these garrison camps in Yunzhou will be enough for people to drink a pot.

When you get to the villa, you can gradually appreciate the communication efficiency here in the villa. A telegraph network is being erected throughout Yunzhou, but the lines that have already been built can already provide a steady stream of reports on the situation in various places. Now, the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau, who were assigned by Tan Xiaopei and Nie Rui to provide intelligence support to Yunzhou, are very accustomed to using the telegraph network. All they had to do was write short letters, write them according to the pre-booked ciphers, and throw what no one had read before they decoded it at the telegraph stations and go about other things. The telegraph system is far from hectic these days, and dealing with these things is arguably the best exercise. But an urgent matter hundreds of miles away can reach the mountain villa in an instant, and this kind of thing was unimaginable before. When the telegraph line from the villa to Danyang is connected, this feeling of a thousand miles is even more terrifying.

Tan Weixin and Tan Weiying got together a little, and now Tan Xiaopei, who was full of troubles, entered the office on the top floor of the villa with Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun and several accompanying ministers. Chunnan's matter is the family's housework, and now although Ye Tao's interference is not considered arrogance, but with Ye Tao's character, he doesn't want to cause trouble for this kind of thing.

Tan Xiaopei didn't want Chang Ling to show her arrogance, especially since this arrogance still came from Zhuo Xianchen, a young general who was very favored by him. After pacing back and forth in the workshop for a while, Tan Xiaopei slowly instructed: "Zhuo Xianchen will concurrently serve as the plenipotentiary envoy of Dongping in Chunnan from now on, and concurrently serve as the commander of the officer corps in Chunnan of Dongping. Whether it is military support, arms procurement, coordinated exercises, training and other matters, Zhuo Xianchen is responsible for all matters. Zhuo Xianchen turned out to be a lieutenant general in the forbidden army, and I directly promoted him to the official general of the fourth rank. Dongping originally dealt with all kinds of relations with Chunnan, and they were all talked about separately, the military department, the household department, and the ritual department...... In the future, it will be up to Zhuo Xianchen to decide whether to talk about reunification, how to talk about it, and who to talk to. After the negotiation, Zhuo Xianchen is also fully responsible for the implementation. I want them to know that Zhuo Xianchen is my person, and the person I sent out is not something that can be bullied casually. ”

"Yan Gong has helped a lot this time. Naturally, this favor has to be repaid. Doesn't the Song family have a fleet? I sent them two Huya ships, ten Cangshui ships, and Lanshui ships. Tan Xiaopei smiled and said, "This favor can be regarded as repaid." ”

Ye Tao and Tan Weixin looked at each other and nodded. Tan Weixin smiled faintly and said, "I'll ask the deputy of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade to leave for Yuhang on the same day, if Zhuo Xianchen wants to talk to Chunnan about ordnance, then start with the items in Yunzhou." The deputy of the department that Tan Weixin thought of was actually very rough in terms of basic business, not because of his ability, but because he was very impatient with complicated work and couldn't concentrate on his work. But this guy named Han Jin has a deep hobby and strong ability in negotiation. Tan Weixin and Shi Wei know Han Jin very well, and usually let him be in charge of patrolling various places, and don't let him out to negotiate much, but now, it's time for Han Jin to show his skills and eloquence.

As for the centrifugal signs shown by the Chen family's industry, everyone couldn't decide how to deal with it for a while. Chen Kai thinks that he is a retainer of the Ye family, and his intentions are very obvious, and in the Third Department of Yunzhou Civil Affairs, he is responsible for punishing things like corruption, and his performance is very good. Do you really want Chen Kai to come forward to deal with this matter? What to do with the affairs of the three civil affairs departments is not a big problem, but what about so many industries of the Chen family? Who will deal with it?

After recruiting Chen Kai, his attitude was very resolute, he was Ye Tao's retainer, and naturally these industries belonged to Ye Tao. He no longer wants to have anything to do with the former Chen family. He loves what he does, and he loves the feeling of doing the right thing right now.

Ye Tao has always been reluctant to others, but who else can do this now? And how to deal with such a thing? Cut the Gordian knot? It is very likely to cause a direct reaction from the Dominion Sect. Although the business side has always been handled by the Chen family, there is no reason why the group of people in the Daoming Sect have been completely ignorant for so many years. To take over this batch of industries, it is almost inevitable to have a conflict with Daoming Sect, and many people know that Chen Kai is now serving in Yunzhou, Yunzhou has never wanted to hide this. Then, no matter who was sent to collect these properties in the name of the Chen family, it would cause a fierce reaction from the Daoming Sect. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the emergence of a state of centrifugation is not due to the fact that the people of the Daoming Sect are intentionally or unintentionally instigating, and the elements of contact are there. After the destruction of the Daoming Sect's main altar, they needed a huge amount of money more and more, and these industries were able to do this. There are many prestigious 100-year-old shops inside. And to send someone to take over these industries almost means to use various ways to play a game with the Daoming Sect on the entire continent. Don't worry about these businesses in Dongping, don't count on them in Xiling, the key lies in those in Chunnan and Northern Liao. The merchants on the Chunnan side have a lot of interests and can give blood transfusions to Daomingzong, while Northern Liao is just the opposite, and now Ye Tao and Tan Xiaopei are worried that through these merchants, maybe Daomingzong can give blood transfusions to Northern Liao, which will cause more or less trouble to Dongping's future strategy.

After discussing the pros and cons, Tan Weixin suddenly said: "What if Ye Tao goes to Chunnan under the pseudonym Chen Kai to deal with this matter?" Naturally, I'll go too. The danger is a bit dangerous, but what if we let the special battalion, the guards go the same? The same pseudonym, makeup. Now, except for the two children in Yunzhou, there is nothing to do that Ye Tao needs to keep an eye on. After finishing speaking, Tan Weixin looked at Ye Tao with a look of longing and expectation.

Ye Tao's heart moved, and after thinking about it, he said, "This is a solution." Your Majesty, shall we go? ”
