Chapter 50 Female Army
"Your sister Chi Li can't scream after getting married, but she stayed at home to read military books. She didn't feel a little..." Tan Weixin thought for a long time, and finally shook her head without saying it. Chi Li is two years younger than Chi Yun and six years older than Chi Lei. She is now at a good age of twenty-two. However, her husband died in a landslide during a routine inspection mission in southern Xinjiang last year. When her husband was there, Chi Li often went out to play, drink and chat with everyone, which was very generous. But after her husband died, she was worried about all kinds of gossip and hid at home and didn't go out too much.
Tan Weixin said: "I want to form a women's team and play that big strategy too. Chi Lei, you are responsible for calling out your sister and being a military advisor for me."
Tan Weixin never speaks loudly, but these words seem to be a trembling sound, which suddenly suppresses the scene, making everyone unable to speak. Tan Weixin sucks the tea and says, "Isn't it good? Can't women play big strategies or marching chess?"
No one doubts Tan Weixin's talent. She can handle the complicated government affairs, especially economic matters, in a proper way. Everyone knows that Tan Weixin has always been a good marching chess player. However, now, with the rise of grand strategy gameplay, this game that is closely related to the real military conquest has been accepted by everyone. It is a very close to the real art of military command, and is no longer a game. So, can Tan Weixin play grand strategy well? No one knows. But it really surprised everyone if a woman wants to intervene in this masculine field. Because it is not the ordinary participants and staff in the Ye family, but to lead a team. And this team, according to the princess's wishes, will all be composed of women. What will happen?
Ye Tao frowned and looked at Tan Weixin, and the meaning seemed to be: No, is it so anxious that you will make feminism sprout?
Tan Weixin squeezed her eyes mischievously, but she didn't say anything.
The quiet scene made Huang Wan feel a little embarrassed. She bulged her cheeks and said cutely: "Do you look down on girls? Your Highness, this team must be counted as me. Even if I don't know much about military affairs, it's okay to help you calculate."
Tan Weixin agreed and said, "Of course it's good. But it doesn't matter whether you understand military affairs or not, and it's okay to treat it as a game. Besides, you're not going to play games now, I'm waiting for that open competition."
Ye Tao just shrugged, looking unanimous. He didn't think there was anything to say about the princess' decision. No matter what Tan Weixin wanted to do, it would be useless, and it would definitely not be a small fuss. Since Tan Weixin said that this women's team would participate in the open competition, it would probably cause a sensation at that time. Passing five levels and killing six generals? That is inevitable. Even if the women's team finally got a very good ranking, it would not surprise Ye Tao. What troubles him was that Tan Weixin was so troubled, himself, and the guys who became staff members of the Ye team who would not be able to participate in the competition, would probably be taken to be a sparring team again and again by the princess.
Although Tan Weixin wanted to form a women's team to play, she deliberately threw out this idea at this critical moment and asked Chi Lei to convince his sister Chi Li, and she still had the intention of deliberately spreading the topic and distracting her attention. There was something in her hand that made her extremely headache to deal with.
After finishing the party between friends, he returned to the princess's mansion. After washing up a little, Tan Weixin still ordered: "Have Zeng Man come? Let him come to see me when he comes."
As an obedient child and a capable child, Tan Weixin must make some arrangements for the many ideals or ambitions of the king Tan Xiaopei. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dongping has formed an effective way to prevent the formation of warlords, at least to prevent the warlords from growing. The rotation of the army, the continuous exchange of imperial guards and local troops, and even the promotion and retirement system, etc. are all very effective methods. However, Tan Xiaopei understands on the one hand that such a system is a way to maintain national stability, but on the other hand, he also understands that Dongping is very good.
It is difficult to support too many troops. After several years of training, experienced soldiers will definitely not be considered as hiding soldiers from the people after being disarmed and returning to the fields. It is unrealistic to expect them to be able to pick up weapons and become qualified soldiers again. However, Xiling and Beiliao have coveted Dongping's prosperous and prosperous territory year by year over year, and coveted the advanced systematic military manufacturing technology mastered by Dongping. Wen Tian and Wuxi's Chunnan are counting on Dongping's country to shelter them from the wind and rain and marry Dongping. They even don't care that the princesses who have married can only "be small", but Dongping is facing increasing pressure.
Is there any way to make the retired outstanding soldiers continue to maintain their state and become a force that can be used at any time? What are the ways to make the maintenance costs of these outstanding soldiers not have to be distributed from the funds of the national treasury or the internal treasury, but to make them self-sufficient? Tan Xiaopei handed this problem to Tan Weixin, and after Tan Weixin thought hard for a long time, the only solution was there.
Zeng Man entered Tan Weixin's study with a thick booklet and bowed and said, "Report to His Highness Princess, this is the imperial guards who will be discharged by the end of this year, the guards at all levels in the Dawei Army, and the well-received soldiers and non-commissioned officers in the Danyang Army. There are a total of 2,723 people."
"Thank you for your hard work." Tan Weixin said lightly. After taking the roster, she flipped it out casually and asked: "Most of the garrisons come from all over the world, and I'm afraid that a lot of them will go back to their hometowns. Are there so many children from aristocratic families in it? I'm afraid there are not many people who are willing to stay and accept the recruitment... And how many of them are you trust in the middle, Lord Zeng?"
Zeng Man took out another piece of paper from his arms, put it on the desk in front of Tan Weixin, and said, "I have done some homework and I think the list of people who can trust me is on this piece of paper."
Tan Weixin didn't look at the paper. She just wanted to find something to do. She rummaged through it casually and said, "Mr. Zeng, you can do these things. Since you chose you to do this, you will naturally trust you. You can talk to them one by one. Those who are willing to join will naturally be good. Those who are unwilling to do what they are willing to do, as long as they don't spread the matter. These Mr. Zeng are experts, so naturally I don't need to remind me. So can the arrangements on the table be made?"
Is there anything that can be put on the table in this plan? Zeng Man was stunned and then understood that it refers to some things in the operation of the entire organization. What Tan Weixin wanted to establish was a carriage, a carriage, a carriage, a retired guard of the military officer, and an institution that can be used in this era and has the characteristics of a modern logistics enterprise. In private, such a carriage is a good system for collecting domestic and foreign intelligence.
If it is simply to accommodate the retired soldiers so that they can maintain training and maintain their condition, then Tan Weixin doesn’t have to spend too much effort and just establish such a logistics enterprise in the name of the Princess’ Mansion and the Royal Family. However, if it can play the role of intelligence collection, on the surface, the entire organization cannot have any connection with the Dongping royal family. So, from the beginning of thinking about this idea, Tan Weixin followed her father’s recommendation and asked the veteran spy Zeng Man to coordinate.
If things go smoothly, by the end of this month and the beginning of next month, some of them would be a little confused. Most of them do not have many other skills except for being a soldier, and their families are not enough to support them. In previous years, after retiring from the army, such a group of people often sold their strength in the local business, did some work, and learned some skills with a clever mind. Those who were slow had to sell their strength for a few years. Although they had a lot of life, they were not considered wealthy after all.
This year, some active veterans will emerge and pull up these veterans to set up a carriage and horse business. The veterans have a variety of troops, but it is no problem to take care of carriage and horse business. Those who come from the baggage are more familiar with this industry. The carriage and horse business formed by veterans is better at transporting people or things than those ordinary carriage and horse business, but the charges are definitely cheaper than those institutions such as escort agencies established by the sects. In general, it is a logistics company that takes the middle road of balanced development.
Such an idea can make many people tempted, that is certain, but on the surface, who will make initial investments in the entrepreneurial plan of these veterans? On the surface, it must be more reasonable. At this time, one of the veterans' elder brothers appeared. This elder was originally served in the Yicheng Navy. After retiring, he was a pirate for several years because he had no other way of life. However, he only robbed merchant ships from other countries and did not touch those ships of Dongping merchants.
Although he was registered on the list of naval lords in other countries, he did not violate the laws of Dongping Kingdom. There were no extradition regulations or other things these days. When he heard that brothers from the same rank of the army encountered troubles when starting their own businesses, he stepped forward and invested the gains from years of robbery as stocks and funds in this pioneering carriage. He also brought a number of brothers who were both from the navy and were good at river and sea shipping, and extended the business scope of this veterans' association to the surface.
Although it did not violate the law, the origin of this money was not very correct after all. It aroused doubts from some people in the military and the Ministry of War. While affirming the operating policy of this chariot and horse shop, it also proposed that the chariot and horse shop must "adjust the capital structure". After several twists and turns, some of these veterans took out their savings, some asked their relatives and friends to borrow money, and some asked their former bosses to bring sponsorships, and finally formed a company with the most complex capital structure of this era, and they prepared and operated vigorously.
Although a group of big-headed soldiers who don’t seem to know anything gathered together to form this enterprise, they are not careless in terms of operation. The purchase of horses is smuggled by Liao horses and retired military horses, and the vehicles are directly purchased by Yejia Workshop with a simple shock absorber, which is both for passenger and cargo. In terms of operation, in addition to conventional passenger and freight, it is also provided for customers who have special requirements for safety and cargo integrity.
Menu-style customized services. In general operations, they also followed the rules of the road and worshiped the kings who opened mountains and set up cabinets and offered filial piety to the mountain gate. However, if they were annoyed, they would pull out a temporary team and directly take the other party's nest. Half of the seized property was handed over to the local government. In addition to the brothers who were pensioned for the death and injured, the remaining ones were deposited into the welfare fund pool, and they were invested as equity capital to operate the carriage and horse shops. The harvest was used to make all veterans and brothers in the carriage and horse shops use it for emergency treatment.
Advanced operation concept, strong support of mechanical manufacturing technology, strict internal management, inherited from the army's sense of honor and centripetal force, excellent salary and welfare mechanism... Tan Weixin almost laughed. Such a company appeared in this era and was a nightmare for almost all peers. It can be imagined that in a few years, this company that is actually invested by the inner government will become a large number of monopoly positions, and no matter how bad it is, it will definitely be a behemoth of industry leaders. And the information collection and summary conducted in private
, and will also usher in a bumper harvest. As for raising a group of veterans who can be brought to the battlefield at any time for the country, it may become a secondary purpose. Although Tan Weixin has agreed to her father's request in this regard, it does not mean that she must agree with her father's strategic idea of paying attention to the number of troops. Now, there are people like Ye Tao. Although Ye Tao is not keen on creating a lot of murder machines, the matter is because of humans. In a few years, there will be a chance for everyone to see a completely different army.
