Chapter 229: Retreat
Chapter 230: Retreat
In the early summer of this year, Lei Huang and his wife Sun Mei'er were together, and their line looked like a rich and idle child going out to go out, and it was very fresh and angry. Naturally, none of them were wearing or carrying anything related to the Thunder Sound Demon Sect. Although Lei Huang was quite well-known in the north of Xiling, his current pale blue satin robe made it difficult for people to associate him with a pope.
There is always a period of vacation after getting married, and the same is true for the Pope of the Thunder Yin Demon Sect. At the beginning of the establishment of the Lei Yin Demon Sect, what was considered was the integrity of the structure and the standardization of the system, and the whole system was more like some kind of enterprise in the minds of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, rather than a religious institution. Even if it's Lei Huang, it's no problem to leave for a while. The problem is that this post-wedding vacation doesn't seem to mention how to deal with it in the Thunder Yin Demon Sect's system manual. After the discussion of the high-ranking priests of the Lei Yin Demon Sect, who were actually from the Dongping Inner Mansion, they finally announced directly to the outside world after Lei Huang's marriage: The Pope wants to retreat. From then on, no matter what the Thunder Yin Demon Sect developed into, all the longer vacations related to family affairs, such as marriage leave, maternity leave, and funerals, were all called "retreats......
Lei Huang in retreat didn't care much about the name, and it was a happy thing for him to be able to take his wife to set foot on the land of Yunzhou and Dongping again. Unlike in Xiling, where he had to endure considerable psychological pressure every day, pondering all day long how to expand the career of the Lei Yin Demon Sect, in Yunzhou, he could breathe open and sleep with peace of mind. And his wife, Sun Meier, seems to have easily accepted his identity as a Dongping secret spy...... After all, regardless of identity, his eloquence, his demagogic power has nothing to do with nationality. And when Sun Meier learned. The idea of the establishment of the entire Lei Yin Demon Sect came from Ye Tao, the current envoy of Yunzhou, and even the entire team of developing educational affairs was personally trained by Ye Tao, and Lei Huang also gradually understood the other side of human nature from those charming sayings and the training and internships that followed, which gradually had the unique charm of the current Lei Huang that blended reason and passion, and Sun Meier also had the idea of coming to Yunzhou and coming to see the envoy of the scripture.
In early summer, Yunzhou is full of life. And Lei Huang and his entourage happened to enter Yunzhou from Bauhinia Pass. To go to the Ye's workshop on the north side of Snow Wolf Lake, this road happens to be a mixed area of agriculture and animal husbandry in central Yunzhou. The alternation of the fields and the horses running on the grassland is really broad-minded. And Sun Meier has never seen this kind of grassland scenery, so she can't help but open her eyes.
After they crossed the road from Thunder Cliff to Ningyuan, which is currently the central axis of Yunzhou, a cavalry force of several thousand people suddenly appeared, forming four columns of troops and majestically crossing Lei Huang and his carriages and horses. Due to the recent wet weather, there was no dust storm, and it was out of control. After a little questioning, the sergeant of the garrison battalion who escorted and led the way for Lei Huang and his party found out. This should be a battalion of Jingyun who rushed to Ye's workshop to change clothes. Now the process of changing the clothes of the Yunzhou armies has also been turned into marching training by Dai Yun. The official notice of rearmament stated the date of departure from the barracks, and it was written that the troops to be redressed must arrive at the specified place at the specified time and must be fully equipped, if they are not able to do so. Then the force will be moved to fifty battalions and all the battalions will be considered. No one wanted to run into such a thing, so until now, despite the extremely tight schedule of the march and the high demands. All refitting units arrived early.
The redress of the Yunzhou armies is mainly in two locations, one is Suiyuan, and the other is the Yunzhou branch of Ye's Workshop north of Snow Wolf Lake. And this time, Lei Huang's luck was really good, he ran into not only Jing Yun Cavalry, but also one of the two cavalry bow battalions unique to Jing Yun Cavalry. The armor of the cavalry battalion looked the same as the standard cavalry armor, but was a little lighter. The ordinary cavalry of Jingyun Cavalry is issued with two cavalry swords and a quick-opening folding crossbow, while the cavalry bow battalion is a cavalry sword. A compound bow and a standard-sized folding crossbow.
Lei Huang arrived at the Ye Clan's workshop less than a day later than Jing Yunqi's riding battalion. Around the Yip's workshop, there are now a total of six military camps, as well as two large-scale professional villages. In order to keep the Yip's workshop running at full capacity, a variety of materials, consumables, as well as food and other daily necessities for the artisans were in such a magnificent supply, and those two villages developed in response to this professional logistics need. In order to provide a more colorful life for the craftsmen, the village is small but has a lot of resources. A variety of shops are available. Even those shops with relatively small faces generally provide the service of ordering goods. There are even brothels and casinos in both villages. It's just that if such an institution can be opened in such a military secret place, whether it is a boss or an employee, it will be subject to strict scrutiny.
After settling in the village, Lei Huang and Sun Mei'er walked around the village, and saw many soldiers of Jingyun's cavalry bow battalion also strolling around the village. During these days of changing and adjusting their armor, although they have half a day of free time every day, they have to wear a full suit of armor and carry weapons wherever they go, so that they can find out where the armor does not fit and let the workshop students adjust it.
Seeing the heroic cavalry battalion sergeants walking by, constantly picking at where the armor was uncomfortable, Sun Mei'er was surprised: "This is the armor of ordinary soldiers?" It's so beautiful. In Xiling, I'm afraid that only a general can wear this kind of armor, right? ”
Lei Huang shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's the army you didn't see in Taizhou who really fought." Several elite cavalry units in the Zhenbei Military Division are also in iron armor. It's just that the iron armor there is not as good as here, and it is not as cheap as here. ”
Sun Mei'er asked curiously, "Isn't it true that the better the thing, the more expensive it is?" ”
Lei Huang smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, you see that the broken swords used by the Zhenbei Military Division are not cheap at all compared to the cavalry swords used by these sergeants now." "Lei Huang has gradually understood the benefits of scale effect on cost control, and there are too many related products of Lei Yin Demon Sect. And Lei Huang has been trained under Ye Tao's name for a long time, and some of the fur can still be understood.
When Lei Huang explained to Sun Mei'er many production management methods in Yunzhou and Dongping, the sergeant who had been playing the role of liaison officer in the past few days ran over and said, "Mr. Lei, Master Jingluo is waiting in the workshop. Do you go over now? ”
"Now?" Lei Huang glanced at Sun Mei'er and said, "Okay, I'll send my wife back to the inn, please wait a while." ”
The sergeant said, "Mr. Lei, please come with Madame." Today, there are customers of Nanami Trading Co., Ltd., who are visiting the workshop. The lord instructed that Mrs. Zun could follow along. Of course, if Mrs. Zun wishes. ”
Sun Mei'er's eyes lit up. For the world-famous Yip's Workshop, what a rare opportunity to be able to enter it and see it. Naturally, the Seven Seas Trading Company was also an important enough person to enter the working area of the workshop, and Sun Mei'er was able to visit with her, needless to say, thanks to her husband. The current Lei Huang is no longer the apprentice of the inner government industry back then, but an important part of the entire layout of Dongping.
Following the liaison officer, Lei Huang came to a heavily guarded courtyard in the corner of Ye's workshop. He glanced at the carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, there were actually Zhengge of the Yunzhou Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau in this courtyard, and there were Tan Weiran, the commander of Jingyunqi, and others. There are also some insignia on the carriage, which he doesn't recognize, and he expects that he will not be a simple person to be here at this time.
Ye Tao's studio was receiving another group of guests, so he could only meet Lei Huang in the nearby Ye Workshop data room. And this treatment is more frightening than bringing Lei Huang into the studio. I don't know how many spies are staring at these production technology materials in the data room. For any country, the things that are too high-end and sophisticated in Ye's Workshop can't be made by them, and they don't make any sense at all, but those smelting formulas, weapon designs, and drawings of heavy equipment are all priceless, even if there is a gap in the quality of the production, it will not be too outrageous after all.
Ye Tao looked at Lei Huang, who had become much more experienced after a period of training in Xiling, and said with a smile: "Are you still making those notes?" Dialects, folk songs, ballads and the like. ”
Lei Huang smiled and said, "I'm still doing it, and it's a lot now." My lord, these things are indeed very interesting, but what you said will make me focus on them in the future, is it really okay? Now ......"
Lei Huang's smile was a little bitter. Ye Tao was relieved: "You did better than anyone expected. Xiling's governor in a key position is a Dongping spy, and the meaning of this kind of thing can be imagined with his knees. It's just that...... I'm afraid that in his governorship, it will be too late to knock down Xiling. After all, we still have to solve the Northern Liao first. However, you are only this age, what are you afraid of? I promise you, when you destroy Xiling, you will still be in the prime of life. When the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave other things behind to do your studies. ”
This very warning sentence made Lei Huang a little nervous, he bowed to the ground and said, "The student doesn't dare. ”
This is the first time that someone has called himself a student in front of Ye Tao, Ye Tao quickly pulled Lei Huang up and said, "Don't be nervous. At that time, I'm afraid that if you want to do knowledge, it may not be able to let you go of the Thunder Yin Demon Sect. Although, it is a bit early to talk about the post-war stability after the attack on Xiling, but when the time comes, there is really a need for someone who can suppress the scene and have enough influence to be in charge. You should be the most suitable. ”
Lei Huang stood up and said with some embarrassment: "The development of the Lei Yin Demon Sect is indeed very fast, and the organization has always been very tight. However, there are many followers and there are many troubles, and this time, at least partly because I came to ask you for sin. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Ye Tao was a little confused.
"Some believers spontaneously entered Yunzhou to preach." Lei Huang said embarrassedly.
