Chapter 310: Giving a gift to the young master

News of Dai Yun and Tan Weishi's pregnancy spread wildly. When Ye Tao officially convened the meeting the next day, everyone from officials to ordinary people knew about Leitingya.

Since Yunzhou entered Dongping, the improvement of the lives of the people in Yunzhou has actually happened. Although the veteran general Xu Jingtian had no financial talent, under his rule, he severely cracked down on bandits, horse gangs, bandits, and bandits. He swept over and over again to make the people's lives stable. Ye Tao even built bridges and paved roads, managed post stations along the way, attracted merchants to enter Yunzhou, and when he became the Yunzhou Strategic Envoy, he even drove Yunzhou in a short time with Tan Weixin, who was regarded as the "God of Wealth". Now, the lives of the people in Yunzhou are much better than before. While everyone is becoming more and more towards Dongping, they also have a deep admiration for Ye Tao and his family. Many of the tribal children on the Wolf Field have always treated Ye Tao and his family as gods.

The Yunzhou Strategic Envoy, who is united in military and political affairs, is the master of Yunzhou in the eyes of the common people, a good master. Of course, this is why Ye Tao works better, the deeper the worries in the court will be in the court, and the more people are worried that Yunzhou will escape from Dongping.

Now, Ye Tao has children and two at once, so the people are naturally very happy. Although the Yunzhou Ruler Envoy will definitely not be a hereditary position, many people have begun to naturally talk about when the "little master" was born and what the "little master" will do in the future. In Yunzhou Ruler Envoy, people originally came from the Dongping Nei Mansion or the Tan Family clan, but now they are more in administrative and economic positions; people from the Dai clan or sidelines, now they are mostly in military or local officials; and there are also Ye family workshops, now they are technical officers in the military, manufacturing bureaus in the Ruler Envoy or other positions that require technology, and there are quite a few people who are clearly known, and they naturally call them "young master" one by one...

Ye Tao was in the position of presiding the meeting and was quite happy to see everyone looking at him. But in the current situation, it is not that good to be optimistic. He coughed and said, "I'll announce a few things now."

"First, General Dai Yun and Dai will not lead the army to fight this time. The reason... you must all know."

"Congratulations to Master Jinglei, congratulations to Governor Dai!" Everyone present responded in unison, and the curtain of tent was filled with joy.

"Second, I will lead the army in this Western Expedition. I am not as good as Dai Yun. I will fight in battle. I will probably be more and more helpful as I help. I can only act with the Central Military Camp to analyze military information and seek overall victory. As for the battle, it depends on everyone's efforts."

"Present a gift to the young master!" Everyone shouted in unison. Ye Tao was shocked, but seeing Tan Weiran joining in and shouting, he had to roll his eyes. Others shouted, "Young Master," you, Prince Dongping, are you obviously making trouble!

"Third, in this battle, our goal is to wipe out all the Xiling military forces in Zhenbei Military Department as much as possible, and the escort army under the command of Emperor Mingzong is included in this list. When encountering other military forces, we do not attack actively before the other party takes the initiative to attack, take hostile actions or interfere with our actions. Naturally, the principles are placed here, and everyone has the standards themselves. Other military forces include the tribe soldiers of the local aristocratic race, the militias that defend the countryside, and the military forces of certain sects."

"As the Lord's orders!" Although the voice was not as neat as before, it was quite consistent in general.

"Fourth, although the target of this attack is to capture the Zhenbei Army Division, the scope of combat is not limited to the inherent boundaries of the Zhenbei Army Division. Each division will be determined according to the specific situation. In the end, what I hope to master is a border line that can be defended with limited forces, rather than a stalemate situation."

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

"Fifth, the large-scale campaign of this battle is expected to be one month and five days to no more than two months at most. At that time, we will decide to gradually withdraw from the battle and escape from the steps of contact with the opponent's military forces according to the situation. If we act without authorization for any reason, military law will be dealt with."

After Ye Tao finished speaking, everyone said nothing. The combat time was expected. Although there will be a slight adjustment at that time, the general situation will not change. However, Ye Tao is rarely so strict.

"Let me explain. Since all parties are now starting wars, not only Yunzhou and Zhenbei Military Office, but also Zhenningguan-Bei Liao front line, and Chunnan's direct battle to move down to Danan Pass. On the one hand, we have comprehensively considered the strategic impact of continuous combat, and on the other hand, because the material preparation is limited, this time the restriction order was given. From a strategic perspective, after we achieved the scheduled results, we will break away from contact with Xiling and restrain Xiling, but we can also let Xiling mobilize troops to deal with Chunnan. We have fulfilled our obligations to allied countries, but we must also let Chunnan suffer greater damage. This has been made clear in the military discussion. We are all our own people, and this statement will not be leaked outside. It is easier to understand the truth and grasp the situation."

Ye Tao said bluntly: "In addition, it is also because all parties start wars, it is not easy for Yunzhou to further raise food and fodder. Now our reserves of war preparations, grain and oil bombs, etc. are not a problem to deal with high-intensity combat for about three months. But after all, we have to keep a hand and don't want to use up all these reserves. Our Yunzhou still has a big war to fight in the future, so there is no rush for a moment. If there is a situation where we have to continue fighting, it will be limited to five months. This is already the point where we need to use the disaster prevention reserve of the Second Civil Affairs Department. If we fight this, our Yunzhou's vitality will need to be restored longer. Then, it will not only affect this battle, but also the major plan for the development of the entire Yunzhou. Please remember this."

Ye Tao has been distributing the "Fifteen Years Outline" quietly. Except for a few key figures, most of the people have the parts related to their execution. And several key figures who can see the overall situation have summoned their subordinates overnight and mentioned it, so that everyone can do their own things well. It is a small matter to ruin their face. If the overall plan is delayed due to the cooperation of one or two departments, it will be a big problem to look back. The structure of the Fifteen Years Outline is very large, and everyone knows that Ye Tao's heroic spirit is

The only thing I don’t understand is probably why I have to lock this plan so tightly. If this plan is not fifteen years but twenty to twenty-five years... Everyone knows that even if it can complete the work of weakening Xiling or even overthrow Xiling in thirty or even forty years, it would be a great achievement. What about fifteen years? That is what I am challenging, wanting to achieve, and wanting to turn impossible things into possibility. Only Tan Weiran knows that Ye Tao wants to "retire and retire" in fifteen years...

But no matter how everyone understands the fifteenth year defined by Ye Tao, it is very consistent that this plan cannot be lost in his own hands. The "Fifteenth Year Outline" has to be revealed to the world a moment before it is realized, so that it can more and more show the knowledge of the foreign ruler Tan Xiaopei, the knowledge of others and the foresight of the strategy, and the pragmatic and efficient nature of Yunzhou's entire huge and sophisticated system.

After Ye Tao finished speaking, he sat down and began to report the preparations from people from various departments. The most important thing was to let the officers understand the logistics preparations, let the government officials understand the military's opinions on logistics preparations, and finally confirm the use and priority of various resources. The first thing to be determined is that once the war begins, all kinds of weapons and ordnances will give priority to the military's consumption. In addition to reaching an agreement with Chunnan to ensure the supply of armor, swords and horses, the Economic and Trade Bureau temporarily cannot obtain much share from the Manufacturing Bureau and the Ye Family Workshop. Since Tan Weixin is still in charge of Yunzhou, there is no need to worry too much about the coordination in this regard. The real impact on Yunzhou will be relatively large. The first limited mobilization of the Rongjun Farm Ranch in Yunzhou will be carried out, and six temporary cavalry battalions and eight temporary infantry battalions will be formed to assist in protecting the boundaries of Yunzhou.

However, after the meeting, Ye Tao saw everyone from Sheng Yiquan coming up to say goodbye to Ye Tao, and left a small thing he wore on the small table in front of Ye Tao as a blessing and guard for Ye Tao's two children. This is also a tradition in Yunzhou. I believe that items with a human breath can help pregnant women resist the invasion of external evil during their long pregnancy. Although what everyone left behind is not precious, it means that they completely regard Ye Tao as a close friend.

"Present a gift to the young master!" After a while, a slew of shouts sounded under the cliff of Thunder Cliff, and then a rapid sound of horse hooves gradually left Thunder Cliff. Then, the sound of cheers of "Present a gift to the young master!" sounded, and the battalions were set off one after another. They came to attend the meeting, with only a small number of personal soldiers. Yunzhou will invest all its military forces this time, and they are still distributed in various parts of Yunzhou. At least on the surface, they are training, garrisons, exercises, and some battalions are undergoing routine defense changes. Everything seems to be no different from usual.

The only difference is the baggage battalion to which Suo Zheng belongs. Since the movement of the baggage battalion means the full launch of the Yunzhou military logistics system, the baggage battalion is more low-key and cautious when other troops are as usual, and just takes some long-distance transportation to make some preparations. Now that the entire army is started, the most pressure is Suo Zheng. He must accelerate the entire Yunzhou logistics system from static to full speed in the shortest time.

Suo Zheng didn't care much. The items he left for Ye Tao's children were the two copper gears he had been hiding in his arms. Then, he smiled and said goodbye to Ye Tao in a hurry, and went directly to the baggage camp that had been stationed under the Thunder Cliff. From the center of the Yunzhou, Thunder Cliff, the city was not like a city, and the place where the town was not like a town began to operate the entire military logistics system.
