() After talking with Tan Weiying several times without any result, Ye Tao also accepted the fact that Tan Weiying had to follow his party back to Yunzhou. In Ye Tao's opinion, although Tan Weiying was a little unhappy, he still accepted this fact very calmly.

And what happened next was a little bit worse. Hearing that Tan Weiying was going to Yunzhou to "play", although he had become Tan Weiran's wife, he did not reduce his free and easy rate at all, and volunteered to be a guide for Tan Weiying, and immediately began to arrange various matters back to Yunzhou. Tan Weiran is very doting on this beautiful wife, because he doesn't have any other positions now, he hesitated for a while, and said that he also wanted to go to Yunzhou to have a look. And Tan Xiaopei actually agreed.

Whether it is Tan Weiran and Dai Xi couple, Tan Weiying or Ye Tao and Tan Weixin and others, they are all actively preparing to go to Yunzhou, but when they will leave has not yet been decided. They were all waiting, waiting for the return of General Xu. On the day Ye Tao returned to Danyang, Tan Xiaopei sent a letter summoning Xu Jingtian, the envoy of Yunzhou and the general of Zuo, to return to the court to report on his work.

The old general had completed the first stage of Dongping's Yunzhou strategy perfectly, and he had reorganized all the armed forces in Yunzhou, and completely reorganized the original Tieyun cavalry, soldiers of various ethnic groups, garrisons in various places, and those Tuntian troops, and all levels of military forces that had been discharged according to the length of service but were waiting for temporary call-up at any time, and began to integrate the cavalry forces of the Yunzhou tribes into the military affairs system of Yunzhou.

According to Dai Yun's original statement, Yunzhou did have more than 200,000 troops at all levels at any time, but after the old general's rectification, this number was cut by more than half, and the old general used the land owned by the families of the surrender faction who were wiped out by the Dai family before and after the Battle of Yunzhou. All of them were taken over to the Yunzhou Jingluo Prefecture, and then a "field order was issued, and these properties were handed over to the soldiers who had been laid off." The soldiers and their families temporarily practiced a paramilitary approach to farming, forming dozens of military farms and ranches of varying sizes. All farms keep less than one-third of the population engaged in low-intensity military training, with a focus on material delivery and rationing. The ownership of these farms and ranches scattered throughout Yunzhou will be gradually handed over to the Yunzhou Invalides in the next ten to twenty years, and the total population of these military industries will remain relatively stable, and the people who live on these farms and ranches will have farms and pastures in the future. It is guaranteed by the Yunzhou Invalids Association. Children who grow up in these industries will be quite good recruits if they are exposed to a relatively strong military and paramilitary environment from an early age and are familiar with the military system and lifestyle. When these children grow up, if they choose the path of joining the army, they can also bring their families to the farm or ranch later, and take up other jobs, they will need to leave. Leaving is just an option, although Yunzhou is still a paramilitary system, but after Ye Tao's unbridled arrangement, Yunzhou's economy has been in the process of various purchases and investment in the construction of industries by merchants from all over the world, showing a vigorous situation. As long as you are willing to work hard, be willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, and be willing to concentrate on learning all kinds of knowledge and skills, there will be no possibility of starving to death. The Yunzhou Invalids Association, which is temporarily in charge of Dai Shikui, has paid great attention to this part of the personnel who have been shunted out of the military system. Quite a good job recommended for quite a few of them. Since Yunju will strictly enforce the one-child exemption in the future under non-war conditions, in fact, a considerable number of people will flow into various industries. Among them, there are many ingenious people, just Dai Shikui recommended to Qian Shun before and after, participated in the construction of the factory building of the Yunzhou branch of Ye's Workshop and began to receive preliminary training, and prepared to be a craftsman in the future, there are no less than 1,000 people.

This part is just veterans, and General Xu Lao took different measures after considering the people who are providing various services to the army in various aspects of Yunzhou. The old general, after consulting with the heads of the families or villages, carried out a blanket transition to a "market economy" for the institutions that made basic supplies such as grain, medicine, and timber. Everyone can participate in the bidding for Yunzhou military procurement on an equal footing in the future, but the Yunzhou military no longer promises them a purchase quota. Although it sounds a little scary, there are quite a lot of Yunzhou specialties among these basic materials, and they are not worried about selling in other parts of Dongping, even if they go anywhere in the world. As for the peasants and villages who have been conscientiously growing grain and selling it to the Dai family, so that the Dai family can have grain to feed the army, Yunzhou after the war, when it was trying to disarm, because of the large influx of tourists, the demand for grain increased by about 10 percent, and the price rose by about 3 percent...... Those craftsmen who are linked to various armies, General Xu Lao dealt with them in different situations. The Ministry of Industry sent officials to conduct an inventory and check the production level of each public or private workshop, and the craftsmen of these ordnance workshops were temporarily subsidized by the Yunzhou Jingluo Prefecture for super-large-scale training...... And this part of the training has become the largest order in the history of the training department of Ye's Workshop, which is in transition. If those leather goods, military uniforms and other workshops can pass the inspection, the quality will be qualified will soon get the order from the Dongping Military Department...... Dongping's army also has a large number of costume needs, and although Dongping's craftsmanship in other aspects is quite jīng Zhan, in leather tanning, in leather goods production after all, because of the lack of large-scale animal husbandry support, the level is very problematic, Yunzhou production of horse harness, leather armor-based products, will soon be used on behalf of Dongping's army. Although Dongping's main battle army has decided to use metal-based armor as much as possible in the future, there is still a need for a lot of leather armor and other things in the city defense areas. With the old general playing such a hand, the disarmament not only did not make Yunzhou's production fall into depression, but became more and more prosperous, just a large number of orders from the Ministry of War are enough for Yunzhou is still a production system dominated by small and medium-sized workshops, busy for half a year.

In fact, these arrangements have nothing to do with the veteran general's core responsibility of reorganizing the army and ensuring the security of Yunzhou. However, the veteran general adopted many suggestions and let these measures conducive to the stability of Yunzhou be implemented one by one, which not only ensured that the people of Yunzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, ensured the lives of veterans and their families, but also left great room for reform in the future. The old general didn't know much about economics, and he didn't want to pretend to know very much. All he had to do was secure it for the time being. After that, there will naturally be a suitable second Yunzhou Economic Strategy Envoy to deal with these problems.

The performance of the old general in his core mission is even more impressive, he believes that Yunzhou has a vast area, almost as much as the area of more than two states and less than three states within the boundaries of the East Plain. The population is sparse and the towns are not dense, in this case, once there is a war, it is not in line with the current situation of Yunzhou to organize a large number of troops to resist step by step. He set the direction of the development of the Yunzhou army in two directions: first, a strong reconnaissance and deterrence capability, and second, a strong mobility and campaign organization capability. In the opinion of the old general. If Yunzhou can have 100,000 troops with sufficient mobility, the previous Yunzhou battle can be completely changed, such as emptying the Benwolf Plain, confronting the northern tribes with the Dihe River as the boundary, and the whole army concentrating on the decisive battle with Xiling, after winning the battle, the whole army will go north to take the Benwolf Plain or continue to confront the northern tribes in the Benwolf Plain, and it is a choice to fight with the Northern Liao first. With the support of the tribal cavalry. All Yunzhou needs is the Jīng Corps. The old general transferred the officers of the Blood Qi Army who remained in Yunzhou, except for a small number of people who continued to participate in the training of the Tieyun Cavalry, with the officers of the Blood Qi Army as the team, formed a temporary only 4,000 people, which will be gradually expanded to 30,000 in the future, and the Jingyun Cavalry, which maintains the scale of the Tieyun Cavalry, will continue to absorb the youth of the Yunzhou tribe to expand after the Jingyun Cavalry team is set up, and after the training is formalized. With the jīng and pioneering jīng gods that have become accustomed to the officers of the Blood Qi Army, the powerful tribal cavalry will be made stronger. In addition to this, the old general also formed three smaller cavalry units. They are the Lei Cai, a force directly under the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion with a staff of 5,000 people, and the Silver Wing Outpost Army and the Frost Wolf Outpost Army with a staff of 6,000 people each......

The Silver Wing and Frostwolf armies were established to implement the old general's idea of strong reconnaissance and deterrence capabilities. In previous battles, the veteran general fully realized how convenient it is to have a strong, professional, multi-skilled, and specially equipped scout cavalry team. For this reason, he ignored the military department, the commander of the forbidden army, and other important people, and resolutely left Chi Lei, who may now be the best scout cavalry commander in the whole world, in Yunzhou, appointed him as the commander of the two armies, and let him organize the troops according to his own ideas. And the two armies of Frost Wolf and Silver Wing are still the first of all the troops to reach full quota, or even exceed, because the old general asked Chi Lei to give priority to the selection of people, and the people he eliminated will be handed over to several other troops to select. And this also formed a new tradition of the Yunzhou army.

Speaking of which, the old general should be better at the infantry army. But the original infantry army in Yunzhou made him too speechless, except for the Dai family's clan soldiers. Except for the jīng Ruizhi who had been selected from all levels of infantry troops to form a 20,000-strong infantry army, the old general really couldn't think of anything else to do. Among the 20,000 infantry troops, 10,000 were stationed on the shore of Snow Wolf Lake, training and ensuring the large-scale construction of Ye's workshop, while the other 10,000 were scattered in various places to assist a total of 20,000 forbidden troops and city defense troops from Danyang who entered Yunzhou in several batches to maintain law and order in various places.

Yunzhou now plus the military strength transferred by Dongping, it is only a little more than 100,000 troops. However, the combat strength of these 100,000 people is different from the combat effectiveness of the 200,000 army that could have been mobilized. The merger of Yunzhou into Dongping means the merger of the military system between the two places, although it was started by warlords, but the Tan family has always been very strict in the implementation of the jīng soldier strategy, rarely conscripting people to fight in the army at will, even in case of special emergencies, there is a very strict three-level conscription system. You must know that in the Battle of Xunshan Pass, where the Blood Qi Army was up-and-coming, except for the temporary conscription of Ningshicheng in Baishi City, the rest of Dongping's territory did not carry out even the slightest mobilization. And Yunzhou, when these armies are reorganized and trained according to the framework of the old general, and they are armed with the weapons of Jīng Liang, it will be a very strong force.

It is precisely because of these difficult and heavy tasks, and the perfect completion of these tasks, that the old general staff returned quite proudly. Although he has been tossing in Yunzhou for so long, he has not even been on the wheel to fight, but these solid jobs also give him a sense of accomplishment. It also allowed him to debrief with great confidence.
