Since the opening of the Great Zhou garrison, the original merchant ship wharf in Kaijing has been expanded into a super merchant ship wharf that is more than three times larger. In addition, Li Zhongyi borrowed the manpower of the Goryeo captives to build five military docks in a section 50 miles downstream from the official ship wharf in Kaijing, with only one purpose: to hide people's eyes and ears.

On the pier of the Kaijing military ship shrouded in night, the lights were bright, and the crisp and loud password sound came and went.

Yang Wushuang, the deputy commander of the Senate Division, was surging and fluctuating, staring at the nearest big ship with his eyes.

"Vice-president, everything is ready, please instruct." Liu Zheng, the general star senator who was responsible for coordinating tonight's action, walked quickly in front of Yang Wushuang, "Smack." "Keep your legs together, touch your heels hard, and beat your chest in salute.

"Start boarding." Yang Wushuang glanced at Liu Zheng, who was excited, nodded, and gave a clear and powerful order.

"Whoa." After Liu Zheng stood up and saluted again, he sideways took over a thick stack of action plans from the hands of the attaché senator, and issued a series of action orders in a short and powerful manner.

"The Fourth Army's left wing C Battalion A will board first, the ship number is 0007, the ship name is Zhenbei, and the boarding will be completed within a quarter of an hour, and there must be no mistake." The senator who was in charge of issuing the order to transfer the troops handed over the action order, which was signed in triplicate and had all the formalities, to Li Thirty-nine, a judge of the military who was accompanying him.

Li 39 carried out a bright torch and carefully checked the orders, seals, and corresponding passwords on the three military orders, and then solemnly signed and stamped them, and listed them with the special passwords of the Judge Advocate General's Department.

"One copy shall be retained by the Division, one shall be returned to the Senate, and one shall be issued to the Herald." Li Thirty-nine gave an order to the gendarmes behind him.

As soon as he received the military order from the military police, the herald, who had long been on standby, immediately whipped his horse and rode away.

Because the weather in Kaijing was still cold in early spring, the officers and men of the Fourth Army sat on their ponies to rest, and their military backpacks covered with linoleum cloth rested at their feet. Some of them were bracing their cheeks in a daze, some were looking down at the letters, and many more were wiping the blades and tips of their guns.

After the occupation of Goryeo, the logistical supply conditions of the entire army were much more relaxed. In the past, the standard equipment of individual soldiers that could not be matched by limited conditions included: folding small horse ties, standard military quilts, standard thin linen blankets, standard cloth strips and linoleum for binding military quilts, standard coats, animal skin military boots, water hyacinths, animal skin dry food shoulder bags, fire sickles, fire velvet, thick coarse porcelain bowls, three taels of salt wrapped in oiled paper, chopsticks, spare leggings, spare socks, small stone strips for sharpening knives, etc., were all fully equipped.

After receiving the military order to be promoted, Dutou Wang Wu and Du Zhenfu walked side by side to the front of the rest place of the soldiers of the headquarters.

"All stand up, assemble urgently!" Wang Wu stretched the door and gave the order to assemble sharply.

The soldiers who were originally doing their own things, like springs with sufficient strength, bounced up in an instant, like green pines, tall and straight.

"Listen to my command, stand upright, look to the right, and take a break!"

"All of them. I was ordered to pull out, pack up my bags, and board the ship with me......" As Wang Wu issued an accurate military order, in about half a minute, the officers and soldiers of the entire Jiadu had already finished packing and lining up.

"Let's go!" Wang Wu led the team in the front, and they all calmed down at the end of the line, and the military judge led the gendarmes to supervise the march on both sides of the line.

The officers and soldiers of the entire Jiadu pursed their lips, put their steel guns on their shoulders, took a uniform step, and walked towards the gangplank with their heads held high.

"Report to the deputy envoy, the left wing C Battalion has boarded the ship."

"Order the right compartment to begin boarding ......"

In a short period of time, accompanied by the clear and powerful commands of the officers, the crisp sound ......of military boots hitting the ground echoed in the sky above the entire dock.

The entire Fourth Army was like a precision machine with a button pressed, and under the lubrication of military orders, it was in full swing in an orderly manner.

The great cause of the family is certainly the embodiment of the strength of the strong soldiers, but God is fair, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the pressure of logistics is unprecedentedly huge.

Not to mention anything else, the mere loading of pack horses with the army is enough to make the commander of the baggage division white-headed.

Since the second conquest of Goryeo, Li Zhongyi ordered a large number of people to hunt down the shipbuilders in the Goryeo Kingdom, and at the same time, more than 200 civilian and merchant ships in the Goryeo Kingdom were also requisitioned.

However, the mule and horse movement of the whole army greatly increased the speed of the march, and at the same time carried the heavy burden of doubling the logistical burden.

A pack horse loaded onto the ship, plus the required forage, soybeans and other fodder, is enough to withstand the daily expenses of ten soldiers, and the logistical pressure can be imagined, which is amazingly high!

The population of the farming people far exceeds that of the grassland peoples, and it is already very difficult to raise military horses.

The steppe nomads are different, there is pasture everywhere on the steppe, the herdsmen and warriors eat cattle and sheep, cattle and sheep and war horses eat grass, and the slow march speed is 70 or 80 miles a day, and the fast is 150 miles.

With enough dry food, drinking water and fodder, and a clear combat goal, the Khitans in the north could even travel more than 250 miles a day.

In the battle of the Gaoliang River that year, Yelu Xianzhen led the elite cavalry to run for 300 miles day and night, which caught Zhao Laosan off guard and made the Song army bleed, which can be regarded as a classic example of long-distance raids in military history.

Before taking the Goryeo Kingdom, even if Li Zhongyi was rich, his financial resources were limited after all.

As the saying goes, no work is not rich, no farming is unstable!

The territory of the Great Zhou State was far inferior to the later Northern Song Dynasty, neither destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, nor forced to land Wu Yue, and the Hou Shu in the land of Tianfu was still in the hands of the Meng family.

Relying on the little interest in the land alone, no matter how rich Li Zhongyi is, it is impossible to compare with the imperial court that collects land rent and commercial taxes.

Fortunately, Li Zhongyi took the Kingdom of Goryeo. There are more than 3 million people on the list of Goryeo, and because of the levy of the human tax, there are at least 500,000 fugitives in the countryside.

With a population of nearly 4 million and hundreds of thousands of Goryeo sticks, the tens of thousands of elite troops that feed Li Zhongyi are barely usable.

After tossing and turning on the dock of the warships for several hours, the entire Fourth Army finally loaded the ships and sailed north, even with men and horses.

Yang Wushuang narrowed his eyes and was looking at the fleet, which was gradually moving away, when he suddenly heard a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, from far and near.

I saw that surrounded by the guards of the brigade, Li Zhongyi took advantage of the thick night and came on horseback.

"Oh, why is the lord here?" Yang Wushuang was very puzzled, according to the battle plan formulated by the Senate in advance, there was no such thing?
