Chapter 503 Accident

After staying in Yejiabao for two days, although it was not weak in terms of combat strength, it was the first time that the garrison battalion was mainly engaged in operations, and although the garrison battalion was not weak, its tactical command ability was somewhat problematic. Yu Fuzhong convened all the battalions and camps under the sick body, and specially explained to everyone about this matter, hoping that everyone could learn from Dai Yun. In addition, since the tribal cavalry participated in the battle, Golan also squeezed in, but the person in charge of the Agricultural Trade Bureau became the third in command of the entire campaign. For the people of the Dai family, this battle is very special, no matter what the result is, it is a trend for all families, including the Dai family, to reduce the clan soldiers, Tan Xiaopei has never urged and coerced, and has been courteous to the Dai family and other families, and even their clan soldiers can directly order the best equipment, and even airships can be equipped. However, after several discussions within the Dai family, considering the current situation, it was decided to reduce the total number of clan soldiers to about 2,000, which may be further reduced in three to five years. Reducing to a thousand people is the limit, after all, Tianling Castle, as the old residence of the Dai family, still has some basic management functions to do. But at that time, the clan soldiers were more like the guards than the fighting troops.

The Dai family wasn't really worried that Tan Xiaopei would turn around and ask them to dismantle the clan soldiers, or exert pressure through other means. Rather, it seems a bit redundant to keep the clan soldiers now. In the past, the clan soldiers were almost the teaching regiments of the various units of the entire Yunzhou foreign war, and groups of outstanding officers came out of the Dai family soldiers and became the backbone of the war against the northern tribes. In the event of a critical war, the clan soldiers also have to go to the battlefield as a key force to turn the tide of the war. Internally, the elite soldiers of the Dai family are to warn other families, so as not to cause anyone to do anything that harms the interests of Yunzhou under coercion and temptation, or is not good for the Dai family. But now, these effects are becoming less and less obvious. And the cost of feeding a well-equipped and well-trained clan soldier is becoming more and more impossible to ignore. The Dai family is actually richer than before, they handed over the entire Yunzhou to Dongping, and those industries that have nothing to do with the ruling have not been impacted, one up to now, although Yunzhou has developed commerce and trade, and the Dai family itself can easily earn money without asking for any special care, but no matter where it is, the Dai family is still special. How many generations has the Dai family operated in Yunzhou, and the prestige and respect accumulated over hundreds of years are not empty words. And in the official face, no one will deliberately set up a card for the Dai family. In those money-making transactions, Tan Weixin has also been helping the Dai family, so that the current Dai family has become the fourth largest business group in China, and it is invincible in many industries. In particular, the Dai family is now the world's largest horse dealer, and the second-ranked leather goods dealer, and their income is absolutely coveted. But the more this is the case, the more they feel that the significance of the clan soldiers now is really not much. In terms of security, even in the war, Yunzhou, especially near Gondor, is a safe place that makes people feel a little bored. If you want to talk about foreign warfare, if you don't have to fight on two fronts this time, you have to rely on the second-line troops to fight a crucial battle, and Dai Yun, who is in charge of the army, feels a little lacking a sense of security, and this kind of good thing in fighting a war will definitely not be the turn of the Dai family soldiers.

While Dai Yun was gradually unfolding his own deployment, letting one garrison battalion after another sneak to the starting position in phases and batches, and talking to the battalion leaders of each battalion and some major officers one by one to further consolidate his command authority, Ye Tao had already taken his whole family to Zhongjun Town. After some rectification, the current Zhongjun Town is completely different from when it was first stationed. The whole town was full of simple and practical style, all the factors that might hinder the operational command were removed, in order to temporarily stay in Ye Tao's family, the small courtyard that served as the temporary official residence and temporary command post was put down around the messenger bureau and airship mooring facilities, when Ye Tao left, the Chinese military camp was even clear about a house, a place the size of two neighborhoods, and then quickly mobilized the army to do leveling and other work, and then intensively built take-off boat mooring and other facilities. In the future, this will probably be the central square of the whole town.

Looking at the arrangement of this big fight, as well as the super high efficiency of the pomegranate, Ye Tao also smiled a little bitterly. Could they really stay in Zhongjun Town forever? In fact, staying in Zhongjun Town for too long now has already made many parts of the army have different voices. Everyone is looking forward to advancing to the front line as soon as possible. But Ye Tao didn't want to accuse Pomegranate of anything, this was her duty as the head of the Chinese military camp. And how much time she can continue to straighten out every detail of the command system from the inside to the outside in these events, which is why Pomegranate is a woman who has sat firmly in the middle of the military camp in the past few years.

Pomegranate was originally Dai Yun's maid, and Ye Tao's family is very familiar, this time Ye Tao will bring the family to the "vacation", although she is very happy to see Ye Tao's unique characteristics, cute children, but also worried about safety. After all, they are now in Northern Liao, and although a series of measures have continued, many people have returned to Dongping, but there are always diehards.

In addition, there are a series of different voices from the intelligence department, for example, there are still some people who are quite dissatisfied with Kong Xinhua's handing over the airship parts to Beiliao, and think that this guy's intentions are probably a little strange. There have been several documents to remind Ye Tao of this matter. In terms of intelligence, every document has to occupy limited communication resources, and it is impossible to use it without restrictions. Probably anticipating this situation, the report written by Kong Xinhua, Chen Su, and Dai Mi has also arrived, detailing Kong Xinhua's motives for doing such a thing. After that, there was a report that Kong Xinhua had been attacked.

Kong Xinhua will encounter danger, which is already expected by everyone. He became the fuse that split the atmosphere of the Northern Liao court in two so bluntly, and now I don't know how many people hate him. From Ye Tao's standpoint, he had also thought about whether to arrange one or two assassinations and attacks to bring Kong Xinhua back to life and win the trust of Zhang Ci and others, but Ye Tao had never been in the habit of taking his subordinates as victims, that is, just thinking about it, he didn't even tell anyone. But this time Kong Xinhua was attacked, but it secretly matched his thoughts. It was none other than the Western Route Army.

On the contrary, in the vicinity of Yanjing, Gao Senqi's control over a part of the Western Route Army was not so strict. And some of them were quite dissatisfied with Kong Xinhua's attack on the caravan of the Western Route Army and the stolen goods for their own credit, and several veteran generals privately wanted to retaliate. Moreover, these veteran soldiers are really unscrupulous. When Kong Xinhua led two groups of men and horses to the east to pick up goods on the coast, they actually mobilized 500 cavalry to attack Kong Xinhua's team head-on. Fortunately, Kong Xinhua's combat power was good at that time, with the elite combat power he had cultivated in Northern Liao for many years, although it was not a regular army, nor was it as strong as a special battalion, after all, it withstood the first wave of attacks. After that, Kong Xinhua simply held on to a mountain col with a water source for a day until the nearby Eastern Route Army came to help. Gao Senqi was still arranging the next stage of defense at this time, and it was far away from Yanjing, and he didn't know that this thing that made the DPRK and China wanton attack, the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army, and other areas of Northern Liao were torn apart. Whether in the minds of the Northern Liao royal court or in the minds of the officials in the DPRK and China, this has confirmed the arrogant and domineering judgment of the Western Route Army. And Gao Gan had no choice but to resign from his position as the secretary of the military department this time and live in Yanjing. As for the officers and soldiers who participated in this matter this time, although they were not dismissed from their posts, they were all sent to the front line of the Western Route Army, and they were cannon fodder when they turned back to the war. There are also different opinions within the Western Route Army on this matter, and now the Gao family has not had time to rectify the various different reactions within the family, and Dongping's detailed work naturally has not had time to summarize a detailed opinion.

Ye Tao looked at it and felt funny. Sure enough, the more the country was in turmoil, the more inexplicable things there were, and when he was in Zhongjun Town, he could feel how much such a thing had a tearing effect on the Northern Liao Dynasty. Although Kong Xinhua was a little frightened, he survived after all. Now about this matter, he, Chen Su and others are still under the close attention of all walks of life in Northern Liao, and they have not had time to send the situation out. After Ye Tao thought about it carefully, he asked Pomegranate and said, "General Shi, you helped record these military information and know the key to it." What do you think should be done? ”

Pomegranate's confidence in Ye Tao is no less than that of Kong Xinhua, and after a little hesitation, she said, "Did Mr. Kong pick up the goods?" Since there are important things in it, it is better to hand it over to the Northern Liao side, so as to show that Mr. Kong has no resentment towards the Northern Liao and will never take the opportunity to make trouble. In addition, the Ministry of Industry of Northern Liao should have our people, right? It is better to let Beiliao be able to produce airships, so that Mr. Kong can get something else, since the Western Route Army can get it, he can also get it, so he has a position to speak. …… The production of airships cost more money to the Northern Liao than anything else they do. ”

Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's similar to what I thought, since that's the case, let's do it in this direction." You are in Zhongjun Town, and you can be regarded as having the most military information, so I will leave this matter to you. If you have any embarrassment, please report it later. I'm preparing for the war, so I'm not going to care. I'm going to go out with my kids these days and have a good time. ”

Pomegranate was stunned for a moment, and then a look of excitement and gratitude flashed in her eyes.
