    "Your Highness the King of the West, Brother Tong Qiang Shengtong is here." Tang Erniu's rich voice floated over, interrupting Xiao Yungui's thoughts.

    Hong Yun'er smiled slightly and said, "Our leader of Baize Hall is here."

    ??????

    Hong Yun'er shook her head and said: "Most of the people Bai Zetang uses to win the battle are Jianghu figures, so there is no need to change it. I think we can set up another intelligence department. Let's put this intelligence department on the surface and complement Bai Zetang.  Sometimes a piece of news needs to be verified before you know its authenticity, right?"

    Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "Yun'er, you are getting more and more sinister." Then he sighed softly and said: "I don't know why, the more power people have, the less they trust others."

    Hong Yun'er rolled her eyes at him and said: "I'm not as shady as you. I just said that the double insurance policy is better. Look at the history of Baldy Chiang, who also set up two intelligence agencies of the Central Command and the Military Command. Didn't the United States also set up two intelligence agencies?"  Are there multiple systems of the CIA and Bureau of Investigation? If we add one, we will greatly reduce the chance of missing important information, which does not mean that we cannot trust anyone."

    Xiao Yungui shook his head and said, "Then do you have a good candidate?"

    Hong Yun'er crossed her arms and said, "Qian Jiang is good. This man is talented. It would be a pity to only serve as an aide. It is feasible for him to take the lead in establishing the Intelligence Department."

    Xiao Yungui frowned slightly and said, "Qianjiang? Is he reliable?"

    Hong Yun'er curled her lips and said, "I can't believe that you still discuss everything with him?"

    Xiao Yungui thought about it for a moment and said: "As a double insurance, transfer Zhou Zhaoyao to the Intelligence Department to be Qian Jiang's deputy. Haha, I'm not being shady, I just want to be safer."

    ??While talking.  Tong Qiangsheng has arrived, and behind him is a man in his forties, with a red scarf on his head and a red coat. He looks very powerful.

    After the two men came forward to greet each other, Tong Qiangsheng introduced him: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, this is Xu Yao, the leader of the Luohan Gang. He broke through with his subordinates and came to Zhenjiang when the Qing Yao encircled and suppressed the Shanghai Xiaodao Hui."

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said, "Brother Xu is really good-looking. I only saw his deeds in official documents before, but now I have met him in person. Only then do I realize that he is indeed a man with a good reputation."

    After Xu Yao followed Tong Qiangsheng to Zhenjiang, he gathered more than a thousand people from the Luohan Gang to join the Taiping Army. He was now a subordinate general under Luo Gang, commanding the First Army of the Army Division, with the same duties as the general system.  While in Zhenjiang.  The Taiping Army repeatedly mobilized troops to support Guazhou on the other side of the river and fight against the Qing army in the Jiangbei camp.  Xu Yao also led troops on many expeditions.  Quite meritorious, Xiao Yungui saw Xu Yao's name many times in official documents.  After Xu Yao voted for Taiping, he was highly appreciated by Luo Youyang. The Luohan Gang was also considered a branch of the Tiandihui. Luo Youyue turned out to be a member of the Tiandihui, so he valued him particularly.  Quite reused.  Xu Yao also admired the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's kindness to the people and expelled the Hunu. He admired the Western King's invincible reputation even more, and wanted to meet the Western King.  Therefore, after Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er arrived in Zhenjiang from Suzhou, they wrote a letter to ask for a meeting. Of course, Xiao Yungui also wanted to meet the gang leader, so as to win over the hearts of this newly attached rebel army.

    Seeing that Xiao Yungui had no airs and looked familiar, Xu Yao felt grateful and spoke humbly.  Xiao Yungui then asked Xu Yao in detail about the situation of the Arhat Gang members in the army.

    Xu Yao cupped his fists and said: "Your Highness the King of the West, the Luohan Clan originally had thousands of members, but they suffered a lot of losses in the city of Shanghai. My subordinates only gathered more than a thousand members. Those who are willing to serve my heavenly soldiers will join the army. Those who are not willing will join the army."  Mr. Luo has given them severance pay to return to their hometowns to serve the people. His subordinates have become the holy soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven. Now there is no longer the Luohan Gang, only the Second Zuo Army of Zhenjiang West Palace."

    Xiao Yungui thought to himself that Xu Yao was quite careful. He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, is the supply in the army sufficient? Are you eating well?"

    Xu Yao replied: "If you eat well, you will have a meal of meat every other day. But when you are fighting outside, you don't pay much attention to your food. Sometimes you fight for several days in a row, and the food cannot be delivered later, so you can eat black beans and so on."

    Everywhere Xiao Yungui went, he had to inquire about military supplies. Gradually, he discovered that fighting was not about conspiracy or tactics, but about logistics.  In particular, Xiao Yungui hoped to build the West Palace Taiping Army into a pure firearms force. He discussed it with his generals and counselors and found that it was not difficult to build a pure firearms force, and it was not difficult to train troops. The difficult thing was how to ensure logistics.  supply.

    A cold weapon army still relies on the supply of food and grass from logistics, while a pure firearms army relies on the supply of ammunition and equipment in addition to food and grass. If there is no ammunition, the musket is no different from the fire stick.

    After listening to Xu Yao¡¯s words, Xiao Yungui frowned tightly. Zhenjiang soldiers crossed the river three times to aid Guazhou, and there were waterways to provide supplies. Food supplies would still appear under such convenient conditions.If the situation cannot be met, then if there is an expedition to the north or south in the future, and we go deep into enemy territory, how can we keep up with the logistics and supply issues so as not to lead to a defeat in the battle ahead?

    Seeing Xiao Yungui's frown, Xu Yao hurriedly said: "Your Highness the King of the West, don't mind it. Brothers can kill Qingyao just as much as they eat black beans. We were also surrounded and suppressed by Qingyao in the past. Sometimes we didn't even have to eat black beans.  It¡¯s not too hard, don¡¯t blame the military officer who oversees the food department for what your subordinates say.¡±

    Xiao Yungui patted Xu Yao's hand, shook his head and said: "I must pay attention to this matter, and we must pay attention to this issue. Only by solving the logistics supply of the army can we guarantee victory. Don't worry, I will too.  We will not blame anyone indiscriminately. This is not a problem of any one person. This is an inherent system problem of ours. This problem can only be solved if generals at all levels in our military work together to come up with a new set of logistics supply regulations.  "

    The logistics supply of the army is a complex subject, which involves complex issues such as material reserves, logistics and transportation, transportation, manpower cooperation, etc. Judging from the current problems, China's backward transportation methods can no longer meet the demand, and the construction of  Railways may improve transportation facilities, but purchasing more horses and turning the army into mules and horses can also improve things.  Xiao Yungui had many ideas in his mind at that moment, but he still needed to discuss it carefully with his staff before formulating new regulations. However, he had already made up his mind to improve the logistics supply.

    After talking to Xu Yao for a while, Xiao Yungui managed a few words and told him that his old acquaintance Liu Lichuan and others were about to return to Shanghai from Xiamen, and they would be able to fight side by side again later.  Xu Yao was very happy. After Xiao Yungui gave him a monocular telescope, Xu Yao thanked him and left.

    After Xu Yao left, Xiao Yungui looked at Tong Qiangsheng and said: "The various messages you sent back are very useful, especially the news about the red single ship, which allowed us to prepare in advance. You did a good job. That's where Jiangbei Camp was  I have seen the troop deployment plan beside you. You have worked tirelessly and dangerously, and personally led people disguised as a salesman several times to sneak into the Jiangbei camp to find out information. This courage is commendable, but don¡¯t forget your responsibilities. You are Bai Zetang¡¯s  Leader, you should focus on training spies and coordinating the overall situation, rather than being a pawn to gather information."

    Tong Qiangsheng blushed and said: "Qingyao is cunning, I am worried that the brothers who have been trained so hard will be damaged"

    Xiao Yungui frowned and interrupted him: "The world is so big and there is so much information we want to inquire about. As a hunter, you have to raise more falcons and jaguars and let them out, so that you can get what you want."  The news. I have spent so much money on you to train people. After they are trained, they will play their role, not just for viewing." At this point, Xiao Yungui patted Tong Qiangsheng on the shoulder and sighed softly.  : "I know how you feel. Every time you go out to arrange a mission, you feel like you are sending your brother to death with your own hands. Is that so?"

    Tong Qiangsheng's eyes were red, he lowered his head and choked slightly: "King Xi, I"

    Xiao Yungui consoled him: "Brother Tong, do you still remember the scene in Chaling last year when you led people to join us in peace? At that time, you were the first to stand up. At that time, I asked you why you wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty.  ,do you remember?"

    Tong Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Remember, at that time, the King of the West said that you rebelled for the sake of peace in the world, killing all corrupt officials, expelling the Tartars, and restoring the Han family's clothes."

    Xiao Yungui nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I also said it, but if you have a comfortable meal, you don't need to fight against the Qing Dynasty? Now I still say so, we must overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, restore the Han system, and kill  To eliminate corrupt officials and bring peace to the world, we cannot achieve it without a firm determination to die. We are walking a bloody road of no return, and only after we finish walking can the world be peaceful. If we can achieve this ambition, even if I have to show up now  Even if you go down to die, I will not frown. When you come to my peace, you must have the will to die! We are like this, and our subordinates must be like this. If we want to achieve great things, sacrifice is inevitable. Sometimes as an army  General, you must have the courage to make a decision. Sacrifice one person in exchange for saving the lives of ten or a hundred brothers? Bai Zetang's pension is the most generous, so the brothers under you should work harder, sometimes for the sake of  In the overall situation, you can only be cruel and send them to death!"

    Tong Qiangsheng has experienced many life and death situations and knows the pros and cons. He nodded solemnly and said: "King Xi, I understand."

    Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said: "As long as you understand, I will set up an intelligence department next. This intelligence department is different from your Bai Zetang. It is an organization that our West Palace puts on the surface, although it has the same duties as yours.  Almost the same, but the means of obtaining information will be different." At that moment, Xiao Yungui explained the idea of ??the Intelligence Department and Bai Zetang complementing each other and the basic structure of the Intelligence Department, and then said: "Qian Jiang will be the director of the Intelligence Department, and I  I want you to transfer Zhou Zhaoyao to Qian Jiang as his deputy. What will happen in the future??Information Department News, both of you are my right-hand men, my eyes and ears, so you must cooperate well.  "

    Tong Qiangsheng took the order personally. He was also happy to have a new department to share his pressure, and he had no doubts about Xi Wang's arrangements.

    Xiao Yungui then asked: "How did you go about finding out the news about Ronglu, the clear demon in the Jiangbei camp?"

    Tong Qiangsheng replied: "My subordinates sent someone to send the secret letter to Ronglu, but there has been no reply yet."

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er looked at each other and saw a hint of disappointment in each other's eyes. They were both thinking, could I have guessed wrong?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
