Chapter 136 Preparation

"So... what about the map?" Zeng Zining asked carefully.

"Just just now, I was explaining our troops to two people from the Dai family in Yunzhou. Speaking of which, our current map and sand table are also thanks to General Dai's great efforts. There is a lot of content in the detailed map that General Dai is supplemented by General Dai. If you need it, you might as well ask the people from the Dai family to continue to help." Zou Shuangwen interrupted.

Tan Weiming frowned and asked, "Where are the two people from the Dai family?"

"One is a young boy, but his riding and shooting skills are quite good, so this one is negligible. The other is Dai Ye, the former commander of the Iron Cloud Cavalry." Zou Shuangwen reported.

"Dai Ye..." The name really aroused everyone's interest. Dai Ye is one of the rare guys who came from the Dai family and could become the commander of the Tie Yunqi. When Dai Yun explained the forces, military power, and some important battles in the north to everyone, he mentioned Dai Ye several times.

Tan Weiming immediately made a decision and said, "I will ask my father to ask for advice. Governor Dai commanded the Blood Qi army for many years and made great contributions to my Dongping. Since the Dai family has returned to my Dongping, I Dongping must treat it with sincerity. Zou Shuangwen, you will accompany Dai Ye in the camp in the afternoon and ask him to give him guidance. Today, there will be dinner in the camp. Then, as soon as the news arrives, a tactical preparation meeting will be held in the evening to let Dai Ye participate."

Zou Shuangwen nodded and said, "Abide by the order. I'll do it now. General Dai is very interested in the Blood Qi Army, this is simple."

"Where is the other one?" Tan Weiming asked.

"It's Governor Dai's younger brother, the youngest one, only fifteen years old. Hehe, I bet with him that if he passes 70 items of the 100 items, he will be allowed to enter the cavalry battalion. If he doesn't pass, he will train me in the recruits battalion." Zou Shuangwen's face was full of wicked smiles.

"Hahaha--" Everyone laughed happily together. These people knew that passing seventy items was impossible for anyone who had just arrived in the Blood Qi army. Not only because the training standards of the Blood Qi army were very high, but also because a lot of projects in the hundred assessments were team projects. Moreover, there are many of these projects not individual skills or technical and tactical aspects, but basic theory and logistics cooperation. The training subjects that these Blood Qi army gradually stabilized after several years almost represent the highest training level of this era.

"It's better," Tan Weiming pondered for a moment and said, "No matter whether he passed the seventy exams or not, he would let him enter the cavalry battalion. Anyway, once the Blood Qi army is about to be opened, your new camp will still be built. Although you can't let you charge, it's probably up to you to ensure the supply line. At this time, don't let that guy enter the cavalry battalion willingly, and then, Zeng Zining, you can train this kid well. Hehe. Since he is a child of the Dai family, he should have a few tricks. It depends on how much he can arouse him."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. For a young guy who was only fifteen years old and had been in the army for three years, it is a good idea to use the discipline and training of the recruit camp to wipe out his frivolous temper, but using the provocation to constantly stimulate him may have a better effect. For this young child who has been in the eager expectations of everyone since childhood and thinks he has performed well since childhood, the subtext of being cared for and being entrusted with relationships is more lethal than simply saying that he is not good enough. Tan Weiming, who is able to skillfully use this simple psychological method to manage personnel affairs, is even more impressive.

Tan Weiming turned to Ye Tao at this time. He suddenly lowered his tone and said with some pleading : "Brother-in-law, do you help me, can you let Lu Dan come back? Otherwise, you can designate someone to help coordinate the workplace. If you want to start, the inventory of arrows of the Blood Ki army, as well as the inventory of divine arm bows, crossbows, floating bridge components, etc., will be a big problem. I know that the imperial guards are urging the workshop to change their clothes, and these inventory must be saved. It is really not possible to break through without anyone helping them."

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to do this. I will naturally send someone to coordinate these things. You also know that our brothers are not good at doing this. They are not good at quarrel with the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards. In the past, only Lu Dan dared to do it. Now Lu Dan is the governor, so it is not appropriate to ask him to come back to do this. Since Suo Zheng is back, I will let him share some of this matter. The workshop here in Danyang is now under the control of Suo Yong. Their brothers can discuss it. Two days later, the clock and watch workshop here in Danyang will be completely stopped. Reassembly equipment. The craftsmanship of these workers should be absolutely trustworthy, right? This part of the output is all used to supply the Blood Qi Army. Don't talk to me. I have also put a lot of effort into the Blood Qi Army."

Although this is the case, Ye Tao said that the watch workshop was shut down to provide the Blood Qi Army, which was quite a favor. Everyone knows that the most popular products of the Ye Family Workshop are the seat clocks and navigation clocks. Especially the new automatic navigation clocks have become the standard equipment for all merchant ships of Qihai Trading Company. Ye Tao also held the orders of the merchant fleet and escort fleet of the Samir family and the orders of the Ministry of War of the Dongping and Chunnan countries. The suspension of work was indeed true, mainly to enable the Danyang watch workshop to keep up with the technical level of the Ye Family Workshop headquarters in Yicheng and be able to produce the second-generation navigation clocks, but the length of the suspension is still within Ye Tao's control. Since Ye Tao said this priority in supplying the Blood Qi Army, it is probably the watch workshop will have to rest for a while.

Compared with Dai Ye and Dai Ji, Tao Ze, the envoy of Chunnan Kingdom, did not stay in the Xueqi Army camp to visit the Xueqi Army for training and competitions, and participated in further discussions. Two small officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanied him back to Danyang shortly after the demarcation. Dai Ye and Dai Ji opened their eyes and saw some key details that the Bloodqi Army did not pay much attention to by others.

Young people like Dai Ji are easily attracted by the various equipment and auxiliary supplies of the Blood Qi Army.

Especially the newly confirmed cavalry sword of the Blood Qi Army, which combined the advantages of the original cavalry sword and absorbed the characteristics of many barbarian cavalry scimitars, arc blades, and even snake-shaped swords on the northern grasslands. After the prototype was released, it was tried by hundreds of people from the entire army and various tests. After the blade shape, hilt length and bending were determined, Ye Tao incorporated a lot of ergonomic design concepts in the process of gradual improvement. Let this new type of

The cavalry sword has become the most efficient and most touching melee weapon of this era. In terms of the most critical material issue, this cavalry sword uses steel specially supplied by several professional smelting workshops directly under the Dongping royal family in Liyang. If it weren't for these workshops, the person was Tan Weixin. Moreover, the Ministry of War and Gaojiadi workshops did not pay enough attention to this new formula of steel and responded quickly enough. This batch of chopping swords just now would probably be used to replace the imperial guards with a new version of the mountain cutter.

This cavalry sword has been put into practice even in details that have never been paid attention to in mass-produced weapons in this era. Although the cavalry are trained the same, the tactical movements shown in training and combat are becoming more and more consistent. However, everyone still has some details of the grip of weapons. Some people will hold them tightly and like the feeling of holding them in a stable way. Some people will like to loosen a little because they enjoy the briskness and ease of playing the cavalry sword in their hands. Some people will sweat easily and will always adjust the details of the grip... In mass-produced cold weapons, it is unrealistic to set different handles for each person.

Ye Tao adopted a solution that he was actually very familiar with. This version of the knife handle was not wrapped with leather or other things, but was equipped with ropes of moderate thickness with the cavalry sword, which had different needs for the feel. Different winding methods can be adjusted. In the instructions for the landing of the cavalry sword, the characteristics of several winding methods are explained in detail, and soldiers are encouraged to continue to study the winding methods that suit them. If no one explains the details like this, most people will not notice them at all.

When Dai Ji couldn't put down this kind of cavalry sword and asked if Zou Shuangwen could get one, he was very tricked by Zou Shuangwen. Zou Shuangwen just looked at Dai Ji with a contempt and said indifferently: "This is a cavalry sword, you..." He specifically emphasized the word cavalry. It really made Dai Ji unable to speak for a moment. Who made him agree to take the assessment?

Veterans like Dai Ye noticed something completely different. At noon, Tan Weiming had already made it clear that the Blood Qi Army was about to prepare, and in the afternoon the atmosphere of the entire military camp changed slightly. Originally, there was a wooden box at the entrance of each barracks, which contained the daily evaluation form of the units belonging to the barracks, and outside there were names of direct officers fired from white porcelain. In the afternoon, the names of white porcelain were taken off one by one and replaced by name tags engraved with brass hollowed-inspired name tags of combat readiness officers of each unit. The officers on duty began to strengthen the inspection of weapons maintenance, and the officers of combat readiness officers and trainees began to explain their work, and the camp began to have double posts and double posts... The soldiers who were still in the competition were indeed very happy and did not suppress their emotions, but the soldiers who stayed in the barracks and the soldiers who were responsible for the barracks showed completely different emotions.

They suppressed their excitement and strong fighting spirit. Dai Ye, who was promoted to commander step by step in the army, knew this emotion was non-profitable. As a member of the Dai family in Yunzhou who knew the situation, he did not tentatively ask why these soldiers had such emotions. Instead, he asked Zou Shuangwen why the soldiers could do this without encouragement.

Zou Shuangwen said with some emotion: "During the middle of the year, nine people from the Blood Qi Army died in the exercise. No one asked them to do that level, but for victory, for individual and collective victory, they did not hesitate. This is not surprising. The Blood Qi Army does not need to be mobilized or mobilized. From the day the Blood Qi Army was formed, the Blood Qi Army was an army with the only purpose of victory. Even if it is light infantry, everyone seems to be everywhere, and it doesn't seem to have to be trained, and it is different in the Blood Qi Army. You will definitely know this in the future. The most well-equipped and trained

The strictest, and the soldiers' rewards are the best. Apart from victory, and besides defeating the enemy, the Blood Qi Army really has no other pursuits now. And the officers are the same. Many officers of the Blood Qi Army entered the Dongping army, but more people stayed because the Blood Qi Army's temperament is different. After bringing the Blood Qi Army, they always have a bit of weirdness in other armies. Even if they move the Blood Qi Army over, they cannot cultivate the unique temperament of the Blood Qi Army. For example, Commander Qiu did a good job in the Imperial Army, but when he returned to the Blood Qi Army, he immediately went crazy to lead the parade, and he stole the opportunity for his subordinates to show off."

The king general agreed to the Dai family's approval of the Blood Qi army's preparations for the deployment of Yunzhou, and sent it back to the Blood Qi army camp with a flying eagle. When a soldier passed the news to Zou Shuangwen, he invited Dai Ye and Dai Ji to enter the Blood Qi army to guard the most severely-stricken building: the sand table room. The empty and gradually rising stair-shaped hall in the middle of the middle refreshed Dai Ye and Dai Ji, but what was even more shocking was the Yunzhou terrain sand table placed in the middle of the hall. The terrain that had been mapped in detail was colored according to the actual landform, and the map was not accurate, the place was black and gray sandstone particles... Even so, judging from the Yunzhou sand table of this scale, the Blood Qi army's understanding of Yunzhou can be said to be amazing.

"General Dai, although there is no resolution yet on whether our Dongping will send troops to Yunzhou, and what army to send, the Blood Qi Army has been ordered to enter a state of preparation. Please come here just to learn more about the situation. Many of our understanding of Yunzhou comes from General Dai. This sand table is also produced by General Dai." Tan Weiming said cautiously: "My Blood Qi Army has just formed an army, and most of them are young people, and many issues will be inadequate. Therefore, regarding the Blood Qi Army and the local affairs of Yunzhou, please give me more suggestions."

Tan Weiming is the prince of Dongping. Dai Ye dared not neglect the future king of Dongping and said that he did not dare to say anything.

After a few chats with Dai Ye, Tan Weiming ordered a military meeting to convene officers above the Xueqi Army Barracks. After all the people arrived, everyone began to report on the current training situation of each battalion and if they were to move into combat readiness and attack the battlefield, what else should be done in preparation?

If the demarcation and visiting the Blood Qi Army camp allowed Dai Ye and Dai Ji to see the equipment and soldiers of the Blood Qi Army. Then the military conference showed the management level of the Blood Qi Army's officers. After a summary of a large amount of data and charts, everyone concluded that if the material reserves were not required, the Blood Qi Army's current state could be opened at any time. After fifteen days of active preparation, the Blood Qi Army can reserve all kinds of materials that can meet the medium-intensity combat field. If there are one month to one and a half months, the Blood Qi Army can initially complete the comprehensive preparations of the Blood Qi Army in Dongping, including the addition of a large amount of combat preparations and martial arts.

The weapons were transported to the borders of Dongping and Yunzhou. The officers proposed to establish professional weapons repair workshops at the forefront. Recruiting and hiring some doctors and starting to hoard drugs and other supplies for battlefield rescue. Scouts were sent to Yunzhou in advance to establish intelligence transfer stations and eagle stations, and sending some officers to coordinate with the local departments of Yunzhou after entering Yunzhou. All the suggestions were recorded... The only question that caused a little debate was to choose between the relatively powerful sulphon bombs and the safe and reliable Mars bombs for early storage. Do the new fire spurt products in Ye's workshop need to be prepared?

Then Tan Weiming asked senior officers such as Qiu Haohui, Chi Lei, and Zeng Zining to prioritize all required preparations from both military and political aspects and put them into practice. As for the suggestions of sending scouts and establishing intelligence stations and eagle stations, Dai Ye did not dare to be proficient, but also said that there should be no problem.

What surprised Dai Ye the most was not these, but that from Tan Weiming to any officer who was able to enter this meeting, he recognized an order that could not be solved through Ye's workshop in an extremely plain tone: coffins, shrouds, antiseptic supplies... instead, it was a problem of war injuries and casualties. Because there were certain rules, he did not enter the issue. Treating this issue with a calm attitude does not mean that the officers ignore life and only seek military merits. On the contrary, it is these preparations that mean that everyone is fully prepared for the cruelty of the war. The first batch of orders of the Blood Qi Army included three thousand coffins, and the possibility of adding seven thousand coffins at any time was reserved.

"Perfect victory is piled up by countless perfect details." Zou Shuangwen used Ye Tao's words to answer Dai Ye's doubts. He said solemnly: "Mr. Ye once said that a good general not only needs to continue to win, but also can show off his life's "no strange victory, no wisdom, no courage and no courage" while achieving these victories. Originally, everyone did not understand military affairs, and thought it would be so boring to lead troops to fight like this. Now, we people understand how difficult it is to achieve these nine words."

Dai Ye nodded and said, "Mr. Ye is indeed a soldier-knowing person. It is easy for everyone to remember those strange victories and reversals, but they forget that the reason why these are easily remembered is because they are too difficult to happen. Taking risks is the first thing to do is to be dangerous."

Zou Shuangwen nodded and said, "Yes. The Lord once warned everyone that before letting the soldiers take risks to take risks for us, please remember that they are other people's sons, husbands and fathers like us... Of course, in the Blood Qi army, this statement must be added to the 'daughter'. In recent years, the Governor Dai made us and other men feel ashamed."

Dai Ye nodded secretly, and he smiled heartily and said, "It is really amazing that Lord Ye can say these words. He is only a twenty-year-old young man, and it is incredible to have such insights. Just now, I just had a glimpse on the school reading stand. When can I ask Lord Ye for advice?"
