Chapter 191 Military Expenses
General Xu's report was divided into two parts. One part was a very important report in front of all the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, and the other part was in the imperial study room. Tan Xiaopei summoned the ministers who he believed were related to Yunzhou or were important to do it. This was also the change that happened after Qu Yan started the reform of the Censorate.
No one is perfect, and it is inevitable that the ruler will encounter all kinds of troubles. Those governors who do well in the local area are very disgusted with the procedures for reporting their duties in the Political Affairs Hall. There are always people who come out to accuse this and that is wrong. Those people may express their opinions only through some hearsays and do not understand the situation at all. When General Xu was middle-aged, he was bombed because he executed a low-level officer who surrendered in a battle. After the battle, he executed the guarded city, spread rumors or even some other intention to seize the gate and sacrifice the city. Impossessed the whole matter clearly in the Hall of Political Affairs, and it was dark. On the second day and the third day, he had to endure similar torture... Now, when the report on the Hall of Political Affairs, everyone did not ask face-to-face questions, but recorded the places that were considered to be problematic and handed over to the Censorate. After sorting out and summarizing, the Censorate decided whether to ask for a "hearing" to listen to explanations or accusations. After all, many highly professional issues, such as military, economic, and technical matters, may be problematic for laymen to hear anything they hear. The veteran general was half of the disarmament. If he had to explain why clearly, I was afraid that God would not know how many times it would be dark.
The atmosphere of the meeting in the imperial study room is getting better and better. Tan Xiaopei rarely uses the high desk to listen to the opinions of his subordinates condescendingly, and prefers everyone to sit on those soft chairs, spread various documents on the coffee table to discuss those crucial issues very close. The imperial study room in the Dongping Royal Palace is not only the highest level of time and space that maintains the same formality as the most in time and space. It may also be the first meeting room in this time and space to provide unlimited coffee to everyone when discussing issues.
At the beginning, it was not because I liked this taste, but because I needed to replenish my energy and needed some strong things to refresh myself. And as I drank, I got used to it and fell in love with it. Compared to people like Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, who are more inclined to find interest in coffee, the groups in the top leaders of Dongping, led by Tan Xiaopei, who started to have a demand for coffee, were all rich and delicious. Especially Taiwei Chi Xianping, who had been picky about different batches of coffee beans and roasted in different batches. In addition to various flavors of coffee, Yushufang even had special people to prepare various other types of beverages and snacks for everyone. According to the incomplete statistics of Huang Xuping, who can show the leisure of scholars in even the most arduous work, there have been no less than sixty kinds of beverages and nearly two hundred kinds of snacks in the Yushufang.
A good communication atmosphere and delicious drinks and snacks... Of course, there are increasingly complex and arduous affairs in the kingdom, which have allowed the ministers to constantly refresh their working hours. For Chi Xianping, Huang Xuping, Gao Zhen, Pang Rong, Qu Yan, and the Six Ministers, it is no longer a strange thing to hold meetings all night. Because of the frequent meetings until late at night and all night, the regular court meetings that were held strictly in accordance with the so-called earthly ritual system at dawn have made these ministers complain more and more, and they have even prepared to jointly submit a memorial. They require the meeting to be moved back at least one hour...
This was the first time that General Xu experienced this kind of government atmosphere in a relatively relaxed environment. After eating a piece of osmanthus cake, General Xu continued to talk about the problems he encountered when reorganizing Yunzhou's military power: "...There is another army to be formed, that is a specialized baggage force. The main consumption of the army scattered in Yunzhou is food. It can be used locally. The grain storage in Yunzhou is still relatively sufficient. The transportation of materials that need to be replaced and used to renovate barracks was originally wanted to start, but there must be something for me to send. The ordnance workshops in Yunzhou are still studying, and it is estimated that they will not be able to resume production in a few months. I am afraid that the first one to start producing qualified ordnance is Ye Tao's workshop. As the dressing ground begins, the transportation of a large amount of material land is imperative. Yunzhou is vast and cannot be given a designated one like other places.
The troops went to supply another unit. It took too long to go there, and the gain was not worth the loss. In a short period of time, the specialized supply troops were conducive to Yunzhou's subsequent equipment replacement and preparation. In the long run, His Majesty wanted Yunzhou to build a strong army for Dongping that could show some performance in the war for the world. A strong army could not shorten the food, arrows, or the consumption of various equipment, turbulent bombs, Mars bombs, etc. At that time, the Blood Qi Army was very happy to be able to use it.
The effect is really good. Once the Yunzhou army comes out of Yunzhou to fight, it is actually from the centralized production and storage area of the army to the front line, which is a supply line of a thousand miles or even longer. With such a long distance, ordinary civilians can't do anything. Not to mention that Yunzhou has such a need for a big war, the Blood Qi army is just a few people. Didn't it also form a baggage army? What else should I say to be able to send arrows to every soldier at any time... It's really nonsense."
When the old general said this, he glanced at Zou Shuangwen, who was sitting aside and listening to everyone's opinions respectfully. He was the lowest-ranking official present, and his current position was the governor of the Blood Qi Army. After Dai Yun resigned, Qiu Haohui was the first to succeed the governor. After that, Qiu Haohui was transferred to the northeast of Dongping to form Tan Xiaopei's ideal main combat troops that could fight and dare to sacrifice in the Binghuo Valley southwest of Beining Pass. Zou Shuangwen began to serve as the governor of the Blood Qi Army. Zou Shuangwen began to serve as the governor of the Blood Qi Army at this time.
Although Wen's grade is not high, the blood Qi army's governor is too special. The various regulations and norms that the blood Qi army has constantly explored will now be studied and studied by the imperial guards and the Ministry of War, and choose the right ones to promote the entire army. In terms of military formation, organization, and equipment, the blood Qi army has rich experience and lessons. Because of this, Zou Shuangwen has become a person who can drink tea with the highest level of Dongping in the imperial study room. Even his son, Zou Ying, who has been guarding Danyang City for almost no reason, has not been qualified.
Zou Shuangwen smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything. The Blood Qi Army's funds were too sufficient, so he sometimes felt a little sucker. The motion to change the longbowman's short blade was finally rejected, and the discussion about whether the Ye Family Workshop finally decided on whether the design of the fighting infantry armor was good-looking again. No one disliked the protective ability of that set of armor. After all, after considering the weight, sweating, comprehensive protection, protective sharp and blunt weapons, that set of armor
The comprehensive performance is quite satisfactory. The young master of the Minister of Justice persuaded his father to hand over several death row prisoners to them for "execution". As a result, after a large group of people tried their best to do a series of tests, the people were sent back to the prison by "alive", which is a good proof. However, the commander of the Fighting Infantry Battalion, who had been undergoing fighting training for more than two months, still firmly demanded the modification of the armor design. The main target is the appearance that is not gorgeous at all... Compared to these, the Blood Qi Army's baggage battalion is only very small
It's just a problem. In order to make letters from home and all kinds of things delivered from home reach every soldier as soon as possible, the Blood Qi Army's baggage battalion has put many ideas into practice. For example, no matter where the soldiers in the Blood Qi Army are from, their families can just send the things to the nearest FedEx branch. The off-site logistics are completely outsourced to FedEx, and the Blood Qi Army will make a total settlement every three months. When sending letters and packages to soldiers in the Blood Qi Army, the letter package is required to indicate the sergeant's belongings on the letter package.
The battalion number, sentry number, and the soldier's personal number. When the things arrived at the Xueqi Army camp, the logistics battalion had a special sorting office to handle these things. The original concept of postal code was borne. The Ministry of War was really considering promoting this method to the entire army. Although it could not bear almost all the logistics costs as richly as the Xueqi Army. However, it is a good way to use coding to greatly improve the efficiency of letter delivery. Not only in the army, but also the Ministry of Revenue Post Bureau is considering whether this set of things is useful...
Of course, the veteran general did not really dislike Zou Shuangwen. Xu Jingtian attached great importance to all the officers from the Blood Qi Army. If it weren't for the Xue Qi Army staying in Yunzhou, his military reorganization plan might not be completed so quickly. The Xue Qi Army officers were so used to it. Not only did they always do their work efficiently, but they always submitted regular and detailed written reports. The focus at different levels was different, and they stated the difficulties encountered and the solutions. One or two people might not have much effect, but when a whole group thought together, the effect was very huge. Not only that, the officers and officers at all levels of the Blood Qi Army set an example to train their performance and discipline to suppress many other troops, which made the veteran general less effort.
"The situation in Yunzhou is better than expected. But in the final analysis, it still comes down to one issue: money." The old general looked at Zou Shuangwen again. Indeed, this is the reason why the old general could not help but attack the poor head of the Blood Qi Army. The more he wanted to build Yunzhou's military strength stronger within his ability, the more he was restricted by Yunzhou's relatively weak financial and technical areas. "Now, several troops have been framed, and the training is much stricter than before. But the matter of dressing is a big problem. How to say it? Now the money in the treasurys in various parts of Yunzhou is mainly spent on resettlement of veterans. There is a lot of pressure in various places. If it is not for the Dai family's support, wait for the construction of the Ye Family Workshop branch to be completed. Construction can be started, or the craftsmen... Uh... the training is over, weapons and armor do not have to be transferred from other places, and Yunzhou can also be put into operation.
The iron ore resources of the full use of the price should be reduced a lot, but frankly speaking, with Yunzhou's current fiscal revenue, if there is no major change, it is almost impossible for the Yunzhou army to quickly form combat effectiveness. The Dai family has proposed a lot of silver from its own treasury to support the reform of the Tieyunqi. From the Dongping military system, this is inconsistent. In order to avoid trouble, I asked the Dai family to borrow the money. In addition, I also withdraw a considerable amount of money from the road tax part of the Luqiaosi. I never thought that the road tax could be collected so much. But even so, Yunzhou's financial resources can only ensure that the Tieyunqi's dress can be completed within two years, and the entire training of the Tieyunqi within three years, so that the combat effectiveness will be higher. As for the other armies, I am also exhausted. After all, the money cannot be changed, so I can only ensure that one army can form combat effectiveness first."
The old general sighed: "I can't stand the strength. These messes have to be cleaned up by the next Yunzhou Military Advisor. By the way, I haven't heard from His Majesty that the candidate for the next Military Advisor. Does the court have any regulations?"
