Chapter 310: A Gift for the Young Lord

The news of Dai Yun and Tan Weiying's pregnancy spread far and wide, and when Ye Tao officially convened the meeting the next day, the officials from Thunder Cliff came up,.

Since Yunzhou was subsumed into Dongping, the improvement of the lives of the people of Yunzhou has really happened. Although the old general Xu Jingtian had little economic talent, under his rule, he severely cracked down on bandits, horse gangs, bandits, and bandits, swept over and over again, and made the people's lives stable. And Ye Tao is from the beginning of his time as the director of the Road and Bridge Department, he has built bridges and paved roads, managed post stations along the way, attracted merchants to enter Yunzhou, and when he became the economic envoy of Yunzhou, he was also regarded as the "God of Wealth" Tan Weixin, who drove Yunzhou in a short period of time. Now, the life of the people of Yunzhou is much better than before. And while everyone's hearts are becoming more and more towards Dongping, they also have a very deep admiration for Ye Tao and his family. Many of the children of the tribes on the Wolf Plains have always treated Ye Tao and his family as gods.

And the Yunzhou economic envoy who integrates the military and the government is the master of Yunzhou in the eyes of the people, a good master. Naturally, this is also the reason why the better Ye Tao does a good job, the deeper the worries in the court, and the more people are worried that Yunzhou will get out of Dongping.

Now, Ye Tao has children, and he has two at once, and the people are naturally very happy. Although the Yunzhou Economic Strategy Envoy will inevitably not be a hereditary position, many people still begin to naturally talk about when the "little master" was born, what will happen to the "little master" in the future, and so on. In the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion, they originally came from the Dongping Inner Mansion or the Tan family clan, and now there are more people in administrative and economic positions; Born in Dai's clan or a side lineage, now most of them are in the army or in the position of magistrate; There are also people who were born in Ye's Workshop and are now working as technical officers in the army or in the Manufacturing Bureau of Jinglufu or other positions that require technology. They clearly and naturally called themselves "young masters" one by one......

Ye Tao was in the position of presiding over the meeting, and he was quite happy to see that everyone looked at him with a lot of joy in their eyes. But in the current situation, optimism is too good and not so good. He coughed and said, "Now announce a few things." ”

"First, Dai Yun Dai Overseer's army will not lead the army this time. Cause...... You're sure you all know. ”

"Congratulations to Lord Jingluo, congratulations to Dai Dujun!" All the people present responded in unison, and the tabernacle was filled with joy.

"Second, I will personally lead the army in this westward expedition. I'm not as good as Dai Yun, and it is estimated that I will help more and more when I want to go into battle, so I can only act with the Chinese military camp, analyze the military situation, and seek an overall victory. As for the battle, it depends on everyone's efforts. ”

"A gift to the young master!" Everyone shouted in unison. Ye Tao was taken aback, but seeing that Tan Weiran was also shouting inside, he had to roll his eyes. When others shout, they shout, why do you a prince of Dongping shout "young master", isn't this a clear troublemaker!

"Third, in this battle, our goal is to annihilate as much as possible all the registered forces of Xiling in the Zhenbei Military Division, and the Guardian Army of the Daoming Sect is included in this list. In the face of other forces, we will not take the initiative to attack until the other side has taken the initiative to attack, take hostile actions, or interfere with our actions. Naturally, the principle is here, and the scale is in everyone's own hands. Other forces include local clan soldiers, militia groups defending the land, and certain sect forces. ”

"Do as your lord commands!" Although the voice was not as neat as it had been trained earlier, it was generally quite consistent.

"Fourth, although the goal of this sortie is to capture the Zhenbei Military Division, the scope of the operation is not limited to the inherent boundaries of the Zhenbei Military Division. The ministries will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In the end, I hope to grasp a border that can be held with limited troops, rather than a chaotic situation of stalemate. “

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then cheered: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Fifth, the large-scale campaign of this operation is expected to last from one month and five days to no more than two months at most. At that time, our side will decide on the steps to gradually withdraw from the battle and disengage from the opponent's military forces, depending on the situation. Those who act without authorization for any reason shall be dealt with by military law. ”

Ye Tao's voice fell, and everyone was silent. The timing of the battle was predicted, and although there will be a slight adjustment at that time, the general situation will not change. But Ye Tao is rarely so harsh.

"Let me explain. Since all parties are now at war, not only the Yunzhou and Zhenbei Military Divisions, but also the Zhenning Pass-Northern Liao line, as well as the operation launched by Chunnan to go straight to the Great South Pass. On the one hand, it is because of the overall consideration of the strategic impact of continuous operations, and on the other hand, because of the limited material preparations, the current restriction is the only reason for this. From a strategic point of view, after our side achieves the predetermined results, we will break away from contact with Xiling and contain Xiling, but we can also allow Xiling to transfer troops to deal with Chunnan. We have fulfilled our obligations as allies, but we also have to inflict more damage on Chunnan. This has already been made clear in the military council. It's all your own people here, and these words won't leak to the outside, and it's easier to grasp the battle situation if you understand the truth. ”

Ye Tao said bluntly: "In addition, it is also due to the war between all parties, it is not easy for Yunzhou to further raise grain. At present, our side's reserves of war-ready grain, grass, fire and oil bombs, and so on, will have no problem in coping with high-intensity operations for about three months. But after all, you have to keep a hand in your hand, and you don't want to use up these reserves. I still have a big war to fight in Yunzhou in the future, and I am not in a hurry. In the event of a situation in which continuous combat is necessary, it is limited to a maximum of five months. This is already to the point where the disaster prevention reserve of the Second Civil Affairs Department will be used. If it hits this point, it will take longer for my Yunzhou's vitality to recover. Then, it is not only this battle that will be affected, but also the development plan of the entire Yunzhou. Please keep this in mind. ”

The "Fifteen-Year Outline" Ye Tao has been quietly distributed, except for a few key figures, most of the people who got it were the parts related to their own implementation. And several key people who can see the overall situation have convened their subordinates overnight, and mentioned that everyone must do their own things, and it is a trivial matter to lose their face, if the overall plan is delayed because of the cooperation of one or two departments, it will be a big problem to turn back. The structure of the fifteen-year outline is very large, everyone knows Ye Tao's ambition, and the only thing they don't understand may be why this plan is stuck so tightly. If the plan is not fifteen years, but twenty to twenty-five years...... As you know, even if you can complete the work of weakening Xiling or even defeating Xiling in thirty or even forty years, it will be a great achievement. Fifteen years? That is what he is challenging, what he wants to achieve, and what he wants to do is impossible to make the impossible possible, and only Tan Weiran knows that Ye Tao wants to "say goodbye to the old man" after fifteen years......

But no matter how everyone understands Ye Tao's definition of fifteen years, they can't let this plan fall into their own hands, but it is very consistent. The matter of the "Fifteen-Year Outline" will not be revealed to the world until the moment before it is realized, so that it can more and more show the wisdom and good responsibility of the lord of the country, the far-sightedness of Ye Tao, and the pragmatism and efficiency of Yunzhou's entire huge and sophisticated system.

After Ye Tao finished speaking, he sat down and began to report on the preparations by people from various departments. And the main thing is to let the officers know about the logistical readiness, let the people in the government know the opinion of the military on the logistical readiness, and finally confirm the use and priority of various resources. The first thing that is certain is that once the war starts, all kinds of weapons and ordnance will give priority to ensuring the consumption of the army, except for the part of the armor, swords and horses that have reached an agreement with Chunnan to ensure the supply, the Economic and Trade Bureau will not get much share from the Manufacturing Bureau and Ye's Workshop for the time being. Since there is still Tan Weixin sitting in Yunzhou, there is no need to worry too much about the coordination in this regard. What will really have a greater impact on Yunzhou will be the first limited mobilization of the Invalids Farm and Ranch in Yunzhou, and six temporary cavalry battalions and eight temporary infantry battalions will be formed to assist in guarding the border of Yunzhou.

However, after the meeting, Ye Tao saw everyone who was in a good mood come up one by one to say goodbye to Ye Tao, and left a small thing he was wearing on the small table in front of Ye Tao as a blessing and protection for Ye Tao's two children. This is also a tradition in Yunzhou, believing that items with human breath can help pregnant women resist the invasion of external evil during a long pregnancy period. Although what everyone left behind was not something precious, it meant that they completely regarded Ye Tao as a close friend.

"A gift to the young master!" After a while, a shout of Qi Shushu sounded at the bottom of the Thunder Cliff Cliff, and then a rapid sound of horses' hooves gradually left the Thunder Cliff. Subsequently, a voice of "Gift to the young master!" The cheers rang out, and the battalions were setting off one after another. They came to the meeting with only a small number of personal soldiers. And Yunzhou will invest all its military strength this time, and it is still distributed all over Yunzhou. At least on the surface, it seems that they are training training, garrisoning, and exercises, and some battalions are in the process of routine change of guards. Everything looks the same as usual.

The only difference is the baggage battalion to which Suo Zheng belongs. Since the movement of the baggage battalion means that the military logistics system in Yunzhou has been fully activated, the baggage battalion is more low-key and cautious when everything is normal for other armies, and only takes advantage of some long-distance transportation to make some preparations. And now the whole army is activated, and the most pressure is Suo Zheng, who must accelerate the entire logistics system of Yunzhou from stationary to full speed in the shortest possible time.

Suo Zheng didn't care too much, the belongings he left for Ye Tao's child were the two copper gears he had been hiding in his arms, and then, he said goodbye to Ye Tao with a smile and hurriedly, and went directly to the baggage camp that had been stationed under the Thunder Cliff, and from the place where the city was not like a city and the town was not like a town in the center of Thunder Cliff, the entire military logistics system began to operate.
