Chapter 501: The Party Contends

Zhang Ci didn't say much to Kong Xinhua, but just sighed to ask him to pay more attention to his safety. Although he had a good army, he had suffered a lot of damage when he was robbed before, and his opponent was the elite of the Western Army. In addition, he wanted to take on the responsibility of organizing precision equipment for the Imperial Army and the Eastern Army through his channels, and to collect high-quality steel as much as possible for airship workshops to test and use. Kong Xinhua realized Zhang Ci's fatigue, and he did not say much in person, but

One month and ten days later, he transported a large number of things to Yanjing, and asked Situ Lian, Zhang Ci, as well as several generals of the Eastern Army and the Imperial Army to receive it. There were 170 monoculars, twenty-four binoculars, 1,100 kilograms of high-quality steel ingots produced by Li Yang, 217 cavalry blades, forty-six secondary blades, and various conventional military supplies. As for ordinary goods, he wanted to sell them in Beiliao. Although he gave gifts to several backers, he would not be placed here.

There are not many such things, but they are very valuable. When asked how Kong Xinhua got this group of things, Kong Xinhua revealed it after he hesitation. On the one hand, he tried every means to search for retired soldiers through his previous home, but in addition, he colluded with the pirates walking outside and robbed a merchant ship from Dongping to Chunnan. In fact, it was not a robbery, but the ship encountered a storm and ran aground on a small island, and the pirates happened to catch up. These things were naturally excited by the two deputys of the Eastern Army and the Imperial Army, and they felt more cost-effective when they stood on Kong Xinhua's side. They had a bad relationship with the Western Army because the Western Army occupied too much military expenditure, which made them really unable to develop. Now, everything is

There has been improvement. Kong Xinhua's original strength in smuggling was stronger and professional than the group of people in the Western Route Army. When Kong Xinhua began to serve the court and provide various supplies to the Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Guard, they could also quickly arm a group of elite soldiers. Of course, elite soldiers were not just equipment, but also required a lot of training and practical experience. However, it is absolutely impossible to have no equipment in the face of an army like Dongping. After getting this batch of things, several generals of the Eastern Route Army quickly sent the east and west to the front line first. The battle between the Eastern Route Army and the Imperial Guard in the northeastern border of the Qing Dynasty had already begun. Although a batch of equipment was sent a little bit like a hindsight, they were fighting with a unit known for reconnaissance and raiding. They could have more reconnaissance forces, and anyway, they would improve.

For Kong Xinhua, it was not difficult to get this batch of things. Although the Dongping Navy was blocking the sea, for him, he was always able to use a double-brid fast cargo ship to drill through the patrol line of Dongping and reach the Beiliao Coast. In fact, just to facilitate Kong Xinhua's actions, the Dongping Navy did not use airships to conduct reconnaissance. However, as soon as these batches were delivered, they were immediately excited with the guys who had been talking to the ministers standing on the Western Route Army. They had a lot of trouble in the past month. Now they caught such a small thing and used chicken feathers as a command arrow. Kong Xinhua naturally continued to work hard in such a trend. He transported two batches of things one after another, landed on the Beiliao Coast, and destroyed two cargo ships, but these two ships made Kong Xinhua's name popular

It became hot. He got two hundred and seventy kilograms of natural rubber, two groups of Dongping's main combat troops equipped with the range-finished sights, a detailed drawing of a standard crossbow, and a whole ship of semi-finished parts flowing out of the airship workshop in Chunnan... When Kong Xinhua received these two batches of goods, he was in a cold sweat until he learned that this was a list listed by Ye Tao and would not have any adverse effects on Dongping, so he obediently handed over it. Kong Xinhua was immediately summoned by the Northern Liao Dynasty Court, and was rewarded heavily, and even gave him some small privileges in his usual legitimate business. That was also very natural. After all, he could not openly openly for his smuggling. Not to mention that this was inconsistent with the law, and rewarding it with great fanfare is likely to attract Dongping's attention. Everyone knows that there are definitely many spies in Dongping in Bei Liao.

As a result, with two batches of important goods, Kong Xinhua immediately gained the trust of many people. He was also good at dancing and soon entered the social circle of the ministers. You know, Kong Xinhua is definitely not short of gifts. He now has the largest source of goods in Dongping and Chunnan. If you want to be practical, exquisite and craftsmanship, Dongping's goods are good. If you want to talk about historical origins and luxurious style, Chunnan is slightly better. He took a lot of things that could not be seen on the market and made it difficult for him to communicate with him. With a flexible mind, he even reminded several ministers of his strategy against the Western Route Army in several garden banquets, which made the big men in the court look at him more and more eye-catching. No one suspected that he was actually a spy from Dongping.

But in just two months, the Northern Liao Dynasty Bureau had undergone tremendous changes. Although it was still centered on how to resist Dongping, the confrontation between the Western Route Army and other forces became increasingly fierce. The Eastern Route Army, the Imperial Guard and the newly formed Liqin Army became increasingly fierce in competition for resources, and the various situations of the Western Route Army became increasingly fierce. Gao Senqi and his son couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. They actually had no intention, but why didn't the court believe it? Why did they still encounter a court with many party struggles at such a critical moment of life and death?

At this time, Ye Tao, who had returned to Yejiabao for the second round of comprehensive offensive, was relaxed. Yejiabao, as the command center of the entire north, was also a home that he had been working on for many years. Compared with an official residence like the Northern Gangwang Jinglifu in Gondor, it felt a different sense of intimacy. Now, Yejiabao is the core of the Ye family. Although the Ye family has only a few people, their energy is not small. Yejiabao, due to its provision of almost all the latest equipment, convenience and comfort, even the Dongping Palace can only be envious.

Ye Tao sat in the study with a wide view and a good view. The turntable next to him was slowly rotating. The ground was floating in the room. Naturally, it was written by Liu Xiangyuan, the best guzheng player in Dongping. Since the creation of turntables, it has been declared far away. As an excellent musician and a better leader of the troupe, Liu Xiangyuan's reputation has spread to the world with the turntables. Now there is only one place in the world who can record turntables: Danyang. There are only twenty turnstables recorded so far, two of which are Liu Xiangyuan. Such a magical thing as a turntable can naturally convey these wonderful sounds wherever you sell.

Ye Tao was holding a lot of documents. Ye Tao felt very lucky to start his life as a carpenter in this time and space. He did not have heavy studies or computers. Although his body was very solid due to years of exercise and running around the battlefield, his vision was not damaged much. If he had to read such documents in the past, he would have to wear glasses with a little degree of degree. Although glasses had been produced in this time and space and were regarded as a blessing by scholars all over the world, it was not considered a sign of health after all.

Reading these documents, Ye Tao became more and more aware of the current situation. The various comparisons made him in the details allowed him to draw many conclusions. For example, Chunnan's actions have been very strange recently. For example, the Northern Liao Dynasty Bureau was actually stirred up by a smuggling merchant named Kong Xinhua. Ye Tao was quite proud of Kong Xinhua's incident. Kong Xinhua is indeed a guy who dares to act and thinks more. It is amazing to give two sets of airship parts to Bei Liao.

Ye Tao really doesn't care about the airship? Not to mention that the Ye's Workshop Research Institute already has some ideas about small internal combustion engines and fixed-wing aircraft. Even if it is a battle between airships and airships, Dongping, which is in general leading in speed, altitude, load, and attack methods, can only repair the opponent's airship team even more miserably. Speaking of which, Ye Tao is really a headache. What should he do if the other party fully deploys passive defense measures? He is still very relieved about the airship.

Ye Tao looked at his cup and finished drinking the tea. He pressed the bell on the table, but immediately walked into the study was Dai Yun and Tan Weixin. Although Dai Yun was carrying the teapot, he looked absent-minded. Putting the teapot on the table, Ye Tao poured delicious hot tea for everyone and asked, "Yun'er, what's wrong?"

Dai Yun sighed and said, "I originally wanted to let Lao Yu take more responsibility, but I didn't expect that he was still tired. The defense on the Xiling line is a little problem. Uncle has passed, but although Uncle has no problem commanding the battle, he is always a little lacking in patience for organizing and training the garrison battalion. Moreover, there are already 114 garrison battalions, with a total of more than 350,000 people, which has reached the limit of the original supply of our Yunzhou and Benlang. I want to simply stop the establishment of the army in total and rely on these troops to fight the war. However, in the battle back, I feel a little uneasy..."

Ye Tao smiled and said, "What are you not at ease? Since the supply limit is reached, stop building an army. I think one hundred garrison battalions is enough. You can find a way to upgrade the extra old garrison battalions. Put a few main battle battalions on Xiling, even if they are newly built, but you will do your best first. As for financial and material resources... I think there should be good news in Beiliao in two months."

Tan Weixin said calmly: "I originally thought I was already a rich slave, but I didn't expect Sister Yun to be even more cruel than me. Do you know what the supply limit she said is? Only move the standing warehouse, the war preparation warehouse, the emergency funds and materials of the Legislative House... If Bei Liao knows about this kind of war, don't be angry, then don't fight."

Haha... Ye Tao laughed, and Dai Yun was also a little laughing. She knew that Yunzhou had a solid foundation, but after all, she had seen the total expense list so far. The numbers added up were too shocking, which made Dai Yun, a guy who was used to fighting hard and thrifty battles, a little uncomfortable. Dai Yun quickly changed the topic and said, "The army training is determined so much. Then, I suggested that in Xiling, a group of troops will be mobilized in a short-term, high-intensity, and large-depth annihilation war. If such a battle is fought well, it will be difficult for Xiling to bother us for at least one year."
