Chapter ninety-ninth clues
The flames of the candle swayed slightly in the night wind. It was already late, but the room was still busy.
"Be careful, save this document and copy it to Cui Shouzhu and Mei Shumi." Zhang Wanshan signed the letter and handed it to the person next to him, "Please sign the opinions."
"Okay." Be careful to take the document and then start recording the seal script. After recording the seal script, you need to submit and archive it.
On the other end of the long case, two other young men were carefully reading the stacked documents.
This is the main hall of Wuwen Hall located in Shouzhou.
Although the strategic focus of Huaiyou (Wunning) has shifted to Xuzhou, according to the division plan of the two governors Huaiyou and Wuning, Xuzhou and Shouzhou will still maintain the current situation for a period of time.
The headquarters of Wuwen Hall in Xuzhou has begun to be established, and is currently under construction by Cialis, while the headquarters of Shouzhou is still under the responsibility of Zhang Wanshan. The next step is Wuwen Hall will consider setting up a branch in Yanzhou, mainly responsible for the collection of information on Pinglu and Heshuo. After the Yanzhou branch is established, the headquarters of Shouzhou will be downgraded to a branch and the headquarters will be officially transferred to Xuzhou.
At the same time, the functions of Wuwen Hall are also being decomposed, mainly decomposed into the collection and spy of external intelligence, the collection of internal intelligence and the prevention of espionage and anti-counter. In short, it is the collection of external intelligence and the stability of the internal regime. However, it will take a process to decompose functions and allocate personnel. At least before the current situation has stabilized, it will be decomposed rashly, which is not conducive to the development of work.
Finally signing all the documents, Zhang Wanshan felt a little confused. He stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and a cool breeze came, making his mind clear.
During this period, the information from all parties must be summarized, and then after several rounds of screening, analysis and summary, and finally provided to the Privy Council and the General Staff Department for reference. If necessary, it will also be copied to the Political Affairs Department.
Fortunately, the Xuzhou headquarters, which had just been established in Xuzhou, has begun to play a role, but due to the lack of manpower there, many systems have not been fully built. Therefore, except for the intelligence of the six prefectures of Yanyunyi and Xusihai, only Heshuo and Pinglu were transmitted to Xuzhou, while other information from Huainan, Caizhou, Wuyue, Tanyue, Guanzhong, Nanyang, Daliang, Ehuang, Hedong, even Liangchuan, Jiangling and other places were still gathered to Shouzhou.
Fortunately, the "Evening World" system has begun to be built, which first ensures the connection between Xuzhou and Shouzhou. The golden-eyed pigeons and white falcons cultivated by special methods have been initially established. From Xuzhou to Shouzhou, the golden-eyed pigeons can fly in only three hours, while the white falcons is faster, and it only takes less than two hours to fly in.
However, the transmission of information between these two types of birds has their own advantages and disadvantages.
The golden-eyed pigeon is the most stable. If it does not happen unexpectedly, it can fly to its destination accurately. However, its flight altitude is low. If it is attacked by raptors or ground arrows, it will be easily captured by hunting.
The white falcon belongs to the small bird of prey series. It has a high flight height, is not easy to be captured by predation, and is also fast, but it is easily disturbed. Once it encounters weather or prey, it will give up its target and it is difficult to domesticate.
These two types of flying bird message transmission systems were brought by magicians dug by Huaiyou from Nanyang. After a series of cultivation and improvement, they achieved initial results.
Nanyang has reached the forefront of domesticating birds and beasts, which is also what Jiang Feng is very concerned about, so he asked Wuwentang and Daocang to cooperate and find ways to dig some talents from Nanyang. Fortunately, in addition to the pigeons, Nanyang has more energy to domesticate animals. For example, Jiang Feng encountered a green badger on the way to Daliang, so Huaiyou dug some talents from Nanyang.
According to Wuwentang's plan, the "Stay of the World" liaison system of Xuzhou, Shouzhou and Luzhou must be established to ensure that the information interoperability between these three places can be accurately transmitted within five hours.
At present, this system between Xuzhou and Shouzhou has begun to operate. Since the number of golden-eyed pigeons and white falcons cultivated in the early stages is still small, especially the white falcons, which are still in the experimental stage, can only ensure the transmission of information between Shouzhou and Xuzhou.
It is expected that by the end of the year, the information exchange between Luzhou, Shouzhou and Xuzhou will be achieved, and by the end of next spring, the information transmission from Yanzhou to Xuzhou will be solved.
Only after the rapid internal information contact between Huaiyou (Wunning) will we consider the information transmission system between Bianliang, Guanzhong, Nanyang, Yangzhou, Youzhou and other places and Xuzhou.
This system is quite huge in the later stage, especially if local intelligence stations have established such a liaison system with Xuzhou, it will cost huge amounts and the risks will increase dramatically.
In fact, in this time and space, all the powerful vassals are exploring and trying to explore this aspect, such as Nanyang is at the forefront, but Nanyang's path is a bit off. Although it was the first to lead the pigeon system, it later focused more on the domestication and use of tracking and reconnaissance by other beasts.
Of course, Jiang Feng, a person who has experienced it, did not allow Huaiyou (Wunning) to follow the old path of Nanyang, but instead focused on developing the message transmission system. For example, the Golden-Eyed Pigeon and the White Falcon were all developed on the Nanyang Pigeon System, which was considered to be a step ahead of the giant's shoulders.
"What's the situation with the ant thief and Li Wu in the east?" He noticed that the two subordinates had already dealt with the emergency parts and sorted out some of them and handed them to him according to the rules. Zhang Wanshan knew that there should be no particular emergency, otherwise he should have given them to him long ago.
"The ant thieves have some new trends, but it is still unclear. They only say that they have sent south to increase significantly. In addition, in Xuyi, they are collecting supplies according to their previous practices." A subordinate quickly replied: "The situation in Yancheng is similar, but the movement is even stronger. It is said that for some salt merchants who have violated the situation, the ant thieves have adopted the method of depriving property, which is somewhat beyond the bottom line determined by the thieves in the past, but they have not fully launched such behavior."
"Oh?" Zhang Wanshan took the document handed over by his subordinates and pondered hard. Is there anything new here?
In order to gain a foothold in Chuzhou, the ant thief has always favored local gentry. As long as the gentry who did not directly oppose them, they could basically be preserved. Why are there some changes now?
But they did not return to their previous policy of completely killing the gentry, which made people feel a little confused.
Seeing his superior frowning and thinking hard, both subordinates did not say anything and waited quietly.
"Are there any signs of adjustment in the ant thief army?" Zhang Wanshan asked, while checking the document.
"It has not been reflected yet, but judging from the movements of Caoqu, the attacks of the water bandits in the Gaoyou area are obviously weakening. Even from the line from Gaoyou to Shanyang, the number of water bandits that have always been quite active has been greatly reduced." Another subordinate immediately added.
"The activities of the siege have also decreased?" Zhang Wanshan stopped his hand, "Is it because the supply in Yangzhou has decreased, or because the Yangzhou navy has strengthened its escort?"
"The supply in Yangzhou is still in accordance with the original rules. Of course, it is not fixed. But after all, such a large fleet cannot escape the eyebrow of the gangsters. However, the gangsters in Fanliang Lake and Baima Lake seem to have all been huddled into the lake, and the people in Baishuitang are no longer visible." A subordinate shook his head: "The Yangzhou navy has always had the upper hand, and the gangsters have been harassing like wolves biting, but this period has been much less."
"What about the attacks from Shanyang City and Gaoyou City?" Zhang Wanshan felt a little strange in his heart, and asked after thinking for a while.
"There is no movement here in Gaoyou, but the other side of Shanyang City is even more intense. The ant thieves were siegeing wildly two days ago, and the information showed that it was extremely tragic."
"This is strange. If the supply in Yangzhou is not cut off, how can ant thieves attack Shanyang? Even Gaoyou's side will be easier." Zhang Wanshan was also a little puzzled. Could it be that the ant thieves wanted to use fierce attacks on Shanyang and attract the East China Sea Army in Gaoyou and to attack a point of a surround to attack aid? It's not right. The sophistication of the East China Sea must have crossed the river by feeling the stones, especially along the east bank of the canal. It's not easy for ant thieves to succeed.
"Does Gaoyou have reinforcements go to Shanyang?" Zhang Wanshan asked again.
"Yes, but they are all transported by water. Now, since there are no water bandits in the canal, transported by water will be much faster."
Zhang Wanshan finally felt something was wrong. This did not conform to the strategy of the ant thief. This tactic that obviously consumes the alive power of the ant thief is obviously unreasonable unless the ant thief has other plans.
"Get the map!" Zhang Wanshan quickly read the documents submitted by his subordinates again, his face a little ugly. When the map was sent, he carefully looked at it for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Arrang more scouts to Tianchang to investigate the line of Liuhe. I am afraid that the ant thieves will have new trends! In addition, please be careful in Chuzhou, because the ant thieves may have abnormal movements!"
Zhang Wanshan's words shocked everyone in the hall. Everyone put down their things and looked at Zhang Wanshan. A subordinate was a little bolder and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, are you saying that the ant thief wants to change his target?"
"It's very likely! When the war reaches this level, I'm afraid the ant thief realizes that Li Bing will not abandon Chuzhou, but keeps consuming it, especially when we feel that Huaiyou has taken Xuzhou and now we have taken Chuzhou again, which may make the ant thief feel a little worried about being attacked by both sides!"
Zhang Wanshan's language is also a little uncertain.
After all, the things obtained by intelligence alone are far from anything. You must know that the ant thief has been spending several months in order to capture Shanyang, with at least tens of thousands of casualties. Moreover, the king also said that the ant thief was afraid that he would have whitewashed the ground in Chuzhou, so how could he easily change his target?
