Chapter 449 Measurement
Chapter 449 Measurement
Tong Bingwen, who once again mastered the heavy troops of Xiling, is now in the abyss and walking on thin ice. He mobilized every unit and made every preparation to take into account all aspects. If the action is too big, it will attract the attention of others; but if the action is too small, it will not be able to catch up with the speed requirement of gathering troops. Fortunately, Tong Bingwen is a veteran who is well-informed and well-versed in military tactics. Some of them are the methods of deploying troops, and there are few courts who have full support... This full strength is just those people who are important enough. The court is still quarreling and wondering what is going on.
Thinking of this, Tong Bingwen couldn't help but feel a little upset, and the wrinkles on his old face seemed even more and more severe. Tan Xiaopei was really a very depressing king. To talk about the tradition of focusing on military, business and technology that Dongpingyuan had cultivated for many years, it was carried forward in his hands. Now, it has reached a point that almost made all countries admire him. However, since the reform of maritime tax and agricultural tax, it has relied on external
After the trade leverage and internal support for grain production were made up for Dongping's weaknesses, there were almost no major measures. Of course, as the lord of a country, if there were no future things, his achievements would have been wise just by reforming the two taxes. However, it is said that the reform of the two taxes back then was still from Tan Weixin's suggestion. God knew that Tan Weixin was such a older child back then. However, God knew that Tan Xiaopei really obeyed.
As for the later days, Ye Tao, a young man, was coming like a comet, seized everyone's sight, married the most talented but ill-fated daughter of the Tan family, and brought one miracle after another to Dongping. The bell tower and a bathhouse can only be regarded as a toy. In the eyes of most people, building chain inns, rectifying roads, building cities and fortresses is just to let Ye Tao get the title of a cadre, and most of the work of craftsmen like building gardens is said to be a great honor and a clever jester. However, establishing the Blood Qi Army
, sent troops privately but firmly restrained the Xiling army and the Baishi city. It was not until later that the governor and governed the country and managed Yunzhou and northern borders that his talent was forced out. Tong Bingwen naturally had various intelligence documents in his hands. Like the Frost Wolf and Silver Wing Army, the telescopes were popularized to individuals. It was a matter of all the officers of all the troops in the world who could not help but drool and curse. The crossbows, airships, improved sulphurs, and new gunboats that Tong Bingwen had never met but had seen sketched appearances were all outstanding achievements that people could not imagine.
And these things happened because Tan Xiaopei was too brave to employ people. Ye Taoxin was not only in Yunzhou, but in the entire northern border. The combined territory was probably not smaller than the inherent territory of Dongping. From the Dongjiaji, it stretched northward to the ocean of ice that was said to be floating several miles thick. It was all under Ye Tao. But in most of the places, I am afraid that Ye Tao and his reincarnated wife Tan Weixin were not interested in paying attention. If it were someone else who had such great power, the court would have tried every means to do so long ago.
If there is a limit, at least it will be used to test it in various ways. However, Tan Xiaopei still trusted Ye Tao as always. He would refer to the operation of the entire Dongping for any good things in Yunzhou. Not only did the Ministry of Civil Affairs alone have now become the seventh largest indispensable department of the imperial court. Not only did the Dongping court and the opposition intersection praise the newly established Ministry of Civil Affairs for its great role in coordinating people's livelihood and planning disaster relief, but even Xiling and Chunnan are considering establishing similar agencies. As for Bei Liao... they no longer have the skill.
Tong Bingwen is the first person among all the generals in the world to be bombarded by a crossbow. Later, Xiling imitated Dongping to form a heavy equipment camp. He was also an active promoter and participant. He understood very well how difficult those things were. It was embarrassing. Xiling successfully imitated the crossbow and established a series of product lines from small to super heavy, and it also had very good accuracy. He relied on a team of craftsmen pieced together by all parties. The core of it was a technician and six technicians, all certified by Ye's workshop. It's okay, the technician certificate, which was covered with the seal of Dongping Works Department, is the deepest scar that makes everyone depressed and laughed. But through this in Danyang
Xiling, who has worked in the workshops of the Ye Family and those who have worked in the workshops of Gao Family, Shi Family and other families, knows at least one thing: the current manufacturing is completely different from what they originally expected. Large-scale assembly line production emphasizes the subdivision of work types and processes, attaches importance to coordination, quality and process management, and has a strict, precise but humane management system for staff... Many people heard that when the workshop in Danyang eats lunch every day, thousands of staff at all levels line up to receive the meals in an orderly manner. Everyone enthusiastically exchanges technical issues on the dining tables and constantly specializes in their own special scenes. They all suspect that the discipline of the Ye Family Workshop is better than that of some troops.
But in response, the more you know about this, the more complicated Tong Bingwen's feelings became. Tong Bingwen was a little lucky that he met Ye Tao, who was not yet mature in military affairs, and he was still a young man who was wielding a stone hammer. If Ye Tao had the maturity he was now, I'm afraid the Blood Qi Army's private attack would have been even more frustrating. However, he couldn't help but want to fight Ye Tao, with the army he had carefully built again... However, the biggest goal of this army is Danan Pass.
When Tong Bingwen was still imagining and guessing what Dongping would react once Xiling launched an attack, Xue Jingze walked in. His deputy, who was the most important back then, could now share his command to a large extent. Xue Jingze blocked many messy things and handled them properly. This time, Xiling's multiple hidden soldiers used royal villas and other industries. Seeing Xue Jingze walking in with a blue face, Tong Bingwen smiled slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Jingze spitted and said, "Master, things are strange."
"Oh? What happened? Tell me slowly." Tong Bingwen asked calmly without any change.
"The army has made progress smoothly. The three units of Heng'an, Henglong and Ruian, which are now in place, a total of 79,000 people have arrived, and it is less than a day away from Danan Pass. With a little concealment, it is possible to launch an attack at any time. Most of the troops followed have already been in place, and some of our supplies are indeed unable to keep up. The main reason is that they do not dare to recruit civilians on a large scale. If there are too many things, there will be no way... These are not problems, but now it is indeed possible that the things we have arranged before may be discovered. Now there is news that Chunnan bought a bunch of airships from Dongping and is ready to be assigned to Danan Pass. Although our allocation is secret, when we look from the sky, there is really no way to hide." Xue Jingze seemed extremely worried.
"News? Where is the news?" Tong Bingwen's brows frowned tightly.
Xue Jingze said: "It was the news from Xinghuatang that there was a large number of Chunnan people in the suburbs of Danyang, who were being trained." Xinghuatang is a large business in Xiling, but the most profitable thing at present is their smuggling business, which directly smuggled various fun things from Dongping. Because their channels for preparing goods were extremely messy, many of them were directly sold stolen goods, the distribution price in Xiling was extremely terrifying, but because there was no choice, things such as clocks could only be smuggled in from Dongping. Otherwise, the price of the goods was organized from the south through some tentacles of the Samir family. However, the wide range of contact also made Xinghuatang very well-informed. As a "patriotic" business, they often provide some information to their customers.
"Xinghua Hall?" Tong Bingwen snorted coldly: "They have a good plan."
"Huh? The handsome man..." Xue Jingze said strangely: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, you guy, use your brain. Why didn't there be any news in Xinghuatang early or late? But there was news at this critical moment? They might have been told by accident, and then rushed to us to report their merits. However, it's hard to say that this clue was revealed by someone on purpose. Everyone knows what they are doing. Even if there are no spies from Dongping inside, it's not difficult to use them." Tong Bingwen sighed, and Xue Jingze's consideration of the overall situation was still so weak.
"Disclose the news to us? Why? Who would do such a thing?" Xue Jingze scratched his head and asked, looking more and more honest.
Tong Bingwen curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid it's Dongping and the others."
"Ah?!" Xue Jingze was shocked, "Chunnan is their ally, do things that are not good for them?"
Tong Bingwen glanced at Xue Jingze with contempt, which made Xue Jingze feel a little embarrassed. Tong Bingwen said, "Who said it's not good? It's the best thing for us to fight Chunnan to the death."
Xue Jingze spitted again and said angrily: "It's true that he's a good plan... But why?"
"If it is really the news that Dongping revealed to us, it is that we are on the highway. They know our advance but are not ready to disturb us. We can move as much as possible. Of course, no one dares to gamble about this... Alas, Jingze, move troops as soon as possible. In another ten days, launch a full-scale attack. The three units of Heng'an, Henglong and Ruian jointly attack the first wave, and then the remaining troops continue to attack until they succeed. We don't have much time left. Dongping can't always hold on to other people's airship teams. They will come back when they don't know when. Go and prepare, I won't leave you for dinner today."
