There were quite a lot of discussions about the candidate for the next Yunzhou Strategic Envoy. Yunzhou is a special one after all. Although after the battle of Yunzhou, except for the Northern Liao still having the power of a battle, the northern tribes probably could not recover their vitality in a few years. In Xiling, although the loss of military strength is not irreversible, the series of turmoil in Xiling north made Xiling even more time to smooth the scars. However, these disappearing threats will reappear with time. If this period cannot be fully utilized to make the more than 100,000 troops of Yunzhou reorganization really become elite, the situation will be unpredictable if the war begins again in a few years. No one can bear this responsibility.

But the problem of Yunzhou is indeed, as the veteran general deeply realized, under years of military pressure, the transformation from a quasi-military system that can be said to be a military force for the whole nation to a conventional national political system is a problem that needs to be able to integrate the advantages of the Dongping Plain into Yunzhou and allow Yunzhou to quickly complete transformation and development, and a problem that needs to be able to fully utilize the potential of Yunzhou...

With Yunzhou being incorporated into Dongping, although the horse farms in Yunzhou that produce excellent war horses will still be the pillar of Yunzhou's economy for a period of time, in order to cater to the domestic needs of Dongping, horse prices will inevitably decline significantly. This decline has actually had a clear trend before, but it has become increasingly troublesome at this moment. In this case, it is necessary to open up other sources of wealth in addition to the animal husbandry industry, not only to make up for the decline in the trade income of military horses, but also to support Yunzhou's military reorganization plan, which is even more impossible for ordinary people.

In this case, everyone thinks that it is not easy for this Yunzhou Strategic Manager to hold this position, and at least there are several requirements.

The first thing is to gain the absolute trust of the king. Although Yunzhou is almost equivalent to a country with a total area, the people and the original operation model are the same. Yunzhou's strategic commander is the only position in Dongping that has complete administrative and military power over the territory under its jurisdiction. If an untrustworthy person is placed in this position, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Secondly, we must be able to gain the trust of the Dai family, and at least be able to live in harmony with the Yunzhou tribes. It is not difficult to get along with the Dai family. The Dai family still plays a huge role in the development and construction of Yunzhou, and is very likely to make a certain sacrifice for the people of Yunzhou. As long as the newly appointed strategy is indeed capable and have a way, the Dai family will be a good help. But the Yunzhou tribe is a problem. Considering this issue, those officials who once clamored for the difference between Chinese and barbarians, who once publicly expressed their contempt for ethnic minorities, and even continued to insist on using barbarians and barbarians to describe tribal members under the repeated orders of the Dongping court, all of them were eliminated. These people would not even be sent to Yunzhou to be officials. You should know that in order to make Yunzhou run smoothly, to keep the civil affairs of Yunzhou in line with Dongping, there are many officials at all levels needed.

Then, it is a very subtle requirement: to be able to get the support of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. Ye Tao's Luqiao Department played a huge role in the past year far exceeding the scope of building roads, maintaining post-transmission areas, and even becoming an important force to drive the economic development of Yunzhou and promote the economic integration of Yunzhou and Dongping. And Luqiao Department. Because Ye Tao's design team has always been supporting the advice, not everyone can take over it. Even if they can take over, the wonderful means of Luqiao Department when he was in Ye Tao's hands, not everyone can play with it. If the new strategy cannot get Ye Tao's support, let alone want to make up road taxes from Luqiao Department like Xu Jingtian, it will never be surprising even if Ye Tao is ruthless at any time. And Tan Weixin is a more critical figure. Tan Weixin's trip to Yunzhou is not just to accompany her husband, she is also responsible for consolidating Yunzhou Department.

The responsibility of the economic system. Dai will allow Tan Weixin and her super business team coveted by countless people to evaluate all of Dai's assets, business and even connections, including some of Dai's secret industries outside the Yunzhou area. Some are handed over to the intelligence bureau or other institutions, and some will be fully commercialized and reorganized. Although Tan Weixin's responsibilities are limited to Dai's asset appraisal and consolidation, since Tan Weixin is already a well-known "business goddess", she can actually play a lot of places. If the new Yunzhou guru is loyal and upright, and devoted to the country and the country, Tan Weixin will undoubtedly add luster to her political achievements. If the new manager is the kind of person who wants to seek personal gain, then we must consider whether his business ability in the operation of assets such as embezzlement and misappropriation can exceed Tan Weixin.

After comparing these situations, everyone has some speculations about the candidates for the next Yunzhou Strategic Envoy. For example, the Grand Marshal Chi Xianping of the dynasty, the Prince Tan Weiming of the Crown Prince and Tan Weiran who has developed more and more in recent years. However, because Yunzhou is too special, Chi Yun, a son who is already the deputy commander of the imperial guards, has a noble and transcendent position in the military system of Yunzhou. It would be too uneasy to ask Chi Xianping to be the Strategic Envoy of Yunzhou.

And just as everyone speculated that the discussion was at the height of the heat, a series of seemingly unrelated appointments were determined:

Lu Dan resigned from the position of governor of the Canal Governor's Office and was transferred to the position of governor of Yicheng. This appointment was basically entirely entirely due to the consideration of a father, Lu Dan was considered a blessing in disguise. The original position of governor will be decided by Prince Tan Weiming.

The former governor of Yicheng Peng Detian was promoted to the governor of Liangzhou, but the capital was still in Yicheng. The governor of Liangzhou will rule over all boundaries of Liangzhou, including Yicheng, and even Beining Pass. The governor of Liangzhou has also shifted from civil affairs to military affairs. The main responsibility may be to urge local governments to reorganize their troops and reserve various strategic materials, especially to supervise Qiu Haohui to form the Tianxuan Army from scratch. In general, it is to make comprehensive preparations for the future war against the Northern Liao Dynasty. Being able to hold such an important position shows how highly praised Peng Detian's work in Yicheng over the years.

The former Admiral of the Yicheng Navy was promoted to the Admiral of the Donghai Navy. In addition to the original Yicheng Navy, the Nanbian Zhenhaigang Navy also belonged to Min Yue. The mission of the Donghai Navy was very delicate. As the Qihai Trading Company grew stronger over the years, the entire East China Sea to the Nanyang Land and the entire route and nearby pirates did not have a cone, which made the Yicheng Navy and Zhenhaigang Navy not open for a long time. After all, they could not cross the border to attack organizations like the Black Hawk Gang that occupied the Chunnan coast. In Tan Xiaopei's idea, Min Yue tried every means to do it.

It is imperative to form a capable team who can land on the coast of the Northern Liao Dynasty when fighting against Northern Liao, and give a fatal blow from behind the Northern Liao army. Tan Xiaopei has always had this idea since similar landings and island-hopping combat fields appeared in the marching chess competition that year, but he has never been able to make up his mind to implement this idea. After all, under this time and space, under the current technical conditions, it is really challenging to ensure the supply of combat troops behind enemy lines through sea transportation like on the chessboard.

However, this series of appointments that were obviously aimed at Bei Liao did not divert everyone's concern about the appointment of the Yunzhou Strategic Envoy. And the result is finally coming.

Just after Dai Shining, the head of the Dai clan, came to Danyang, Tan Xiaopei finally summoned all those who had something to do with Yunzhou to the imperial study room for a meeting to decide the candidate for the Yunzhou Strategic Envoy.

"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid I have to stay in Yunzhou for quite a long time." Everyone had already taken their seats. And Tan Xiaopei had not come yet. At this moment, while everyone was chatting, Tan Weiran suddenly said to Ye Tao.

"Are you the new Yunzhou Strategic Envoy?" Ye Tao asked in surprise.

"I don't cause such trouble for myself. I have been thinking for a long time. Axi still misses Yunzhou very much. I miss the days on the grassland. I am also very yearning for it. Yunzhou is also a place where I can make great efforts. Although it is really interesting to study history, I still prefer to do something practical. After having practical experience, look at historical events and looking at various strategies of the court, you may find more interesting things." Tan Weiran said confidently: "I asked my father to work in Yunzhou, and my father agreed to let me command Jing Yunqi."

Ye Tao frowned and asked, "Who is the General Strategy of Yunzhou? You are the leader of Jing Yunqi?... It's not that it's appropriate or not. Don't you think that no matter who is the General Strategy of Yunzhou will be under pressure?"

"It's pressure, what a good thing." Tan Weiran said with a smile.

Just as Ye Tao frowned, Tan Xiaopei and Dai Shining walked into the imperial study side by side. It seemed that the two had a very pleasant conversation before this important meeting.

Since it was a very important and formal meeting, Tan Xiaopei rarely sat behind the desk placed in the imperial study room, which was three steps away from the ground. He glanced at the ministers below, his two sons, and Tan Weixin, who was specially invited in this special meeting today, said as usual: "Don't give me a gift, please sit."

"Today, we have to decide the candidate for the next Yunzhou Strategic Envoy after General Xu left. In fact, I have already determined the candidate. But... this candidate must be able to perform his duties smoothly. There are very many arrangements to be made." Tan Xiaopei's face was a faint smile. He picked up a document from the desk. He waved it in the air and said, "I put it here ten days ago. Chi Xianping, so you can read it."

The appointment letter has always been on that desk now being used less and less frequently? Tan Xiaopei's behavior is also surprising.

Chi Xianping smiled and replied, "Abide by the order." He quickly stepped forward and held the appointment letter. He opened the document and said loudly: "Yunzhou is a major military and country, and the subordinates of all directions must be fought for. General Xu Jingtian of the left, first set up Yunzhou, and then took charge of the position of General Secretary Yunzhou with his military position, consolidated the army and selected the best and ordered the inferior, so that the four areas of Yunzhou were peaceful, and the establishment of the Jingyun Cavalry, Thunder Cavalry, Frost Wolf, and Silver Wing Army will be of long-term contribution. General Xu Jingtian of the left is not rewarding..."

After a series of praises to the veteran General Xu Jingtian, the most critical part finally came to the most important part: "...Appointment..."

"Ye Tao!" Chi Xianping calmly and resolutely pronounced the name "...because the General Envoy of Yunzhou."

Ye Tao was stunned. He stared blankly at Chi Xianping who was continuing to read the appointment book. He looked at Tan Xiaopei, who was sitting behind the desk, looking confident in his heart, and turned to look at Tan Weixin sitting beside him. Tan Weixin frowned slightly, obviously not surprised, but seemed a little dissatisfied.

"...The responsibility of the entire economy, the responsibility of military force, whether it is shepherd or hunting, all depends on decision..." Chi Xianping finished reading the appointment letter and closed the document and held it in his hands. He looked at Ye Tao and understood very well that Ye Tao would definitely not come up to take the appointment letter directly. With Ye Tao's temperament, he would inevitably refuse.

"Your Majesty, this..." Ye Tao wanted to refuse, but Tan Xiaopei immediately interrupted him.

"Don't rush to refuse." Tan Xiaopei said lightly: "Let me ask you a few questions. If you think you are completely different from what I expected, then I will allow you not to accept this appointment. First of all, have you ever disappointed in the years since you accepted my appointment and officially served the imperial court?"

Ye Tao's expression was a little strange. He looked at Qu Yan, who was sitting in the corner and was already in charge of the Censorate, and asked back: "Does the people from the Censorate or Wenhua Palace count?"

Tan Xiaopei smiled and said, "Not count... You know that even if you are not prepared at all, you will do better than others. You are better than me and the ministers in the court expected. The second question is, no matter who serves as the General Secretary of Yunzhou, do you have to act according to your and Xin'er's expressions?"

Ye Tao's expression changed and he said cautiously: "I dare not. If your Majesty appoints anyone, I will do my best to cooperate."

Tan Xiaopei nodded and continued, "Although the rumors these days have not been seen, those speculations make sense. The so-called three conditions, whether it is my trust or the relationship with the Dai family and the Yunzhou tribe, are you in line with it. Do you have any reason other than your ability to refuse this appointment?"

Ye Tao was silent. He admitted that if he had taken this appointment, he might have done better than others, at least not worse than others. As a time traveler, as a time traveler who has mastered leading concepts and leading technologies, and has achieved many successes with these concepts and technologies, putting layers of halos on himself, this is his minimum confidence.

"Since you don't deny these, then you should take over the appointment letter. According to the Dongping common law, it is also because the situation in Yunzhou is really special. You set off within ten days. I don't need to remind you how important Yunzhou is, nor will I remind you what can be done and what can't be done. Everything depends on you. I hope you can understand one thing: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Tan Xiaopei said lightly.

Chi Xianping walked up with a smile and handed the appointment letter to Ye Tao. The congratulations and praises were heard everywhere. But to Ye Tao, it seemed like a buzzing noise, which made him unable to concentrate.

On the way back to Zhengyuan, Ye Tao suddenly asked Tan Weixin: "You know this in advance? Why don't you remind me?"

"I know, I've refused you many times. But no matter how you weigh it, I'm afraid you are the most suitable candidate. In order to make you feel at ease, didn't you even throw your younger brother to Yunzhou to support you?" Tan Weixin sighed. She did stop this appointment, but the reason was much more complicated.
Chapter completed!
