As soon as Liu Ximing's words fell, Cao Bianjiao applauded and laughed excitedly.

"It's still the superintendent's cheerfulness, I've long wanted to fight with them, damn it, it used to be our officials chasing thieves, but now it's become a thief chasing officials, it's really fucking unlucky."

"Of course", Liu Ximing also smiled and said: "This pavilion is ordered by the emperor, this time I came to the Central Plains, if I don't win first, who in the world obeys me, all the kings, each of them will send an order, send a horse to investigate, pack up, and we will pull out the camp tomorrow." ”

"Whoa!"

In the big tent, the morale of the generals is like a rainbow.

It's just that as soon as the expression was finished, the chief military officer Zhou Yuji asked in a worried whisper:

"Inspector, my army is tens of thousands, and the court has no money and food to support, how should this logistics be?"

"Hahaha", Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and the others glanced at each other, and laughed at Zhou Yuji one after another.

Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji are also old acquaintances, and when they slapped him on the shoulder, they smiled and said: "It seems that Lao Zhou still fights with the superintendent less, don't you hear the name of saving Situ and listen to it under the superintendent, you don't have to worry about the grain and grass." ”

Looking at the confident appearance of the generals in the camp, Zhou Yuji had some doubts in his heart, how could these generals look so familiar with the superintendent.

After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he remembered something and said: "By the way, the commander-in-chief Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong and Gao Jie should also be nearby, should the superintendent summon them together?"

It turned out to be these people.

Liu Ximing planned in his heart, shook his head and said: "These people are half-hearted, they are not people who can work together, don't you know that you are not afraid of god-like enemies, but also of pig-like teammates, bring them Maybe they will mess up our position, let's discuss this matter later." ”

"That's the same", Cao Bianjiao thought about the virtues of these chief military officers of the imperial court, and immediately stopped mentioning this matter.

When the generals went down to arrange the deployment, Liu Ximing called Shao Derong and asked:

"Fang Cai said that there is no need to worry about money and food, but what is happening now? The cities of Henan are frequently broken, you are here, what is the new news? ”

Shao Derong smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry, the Han Yuan firm has already been prepared, although the Liukou broke the city, but our personnel and materials have been transferred to the tunnel in time, and there is basically no big loss." At present, although the Kaifeng area is not passable, Dou Taishou still transported a lot of grain and grass from the Runing area, and the military supplies are enough. ”

"That's good", Liu Ximing nodded and put his mind at ease.

Since he knew that there had been turmoil everywhere in the past few years, how could Liu Ximing not prepare in advance.

As early as a few years ago, when commercial houses opened up trade routes in various places, they usually had to prepare at least two concealed strongholds to hide and cover personnel and supplies, which came in handy at this time.

The army outside the city of Guide was quickly launched, and now the army under Liu Ximing's command, except for the men and horses under Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji, the rest are the regular army of the Liu family, which can really be said to be forbidden.

Even if it is Cao Bianjiao's department and Zhou Yuji's department, although the soldiers don't know it, most of the middle-level and grass-roots officers are from the Liu family, so there is no running-in problem at all.

Under the eyes of Deng Yushan, the prefect of Guide Prefecture and other officials, this dignitary of the imperial court, a scholar of the Jianji Palace and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Ximing, the governor of the Central Plains, did not even eat in the city, and went west directly surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers.

In the army, taking advantage of the camping and repair, Zhou Yuji got his share of military rations from the guards.

One serving of white rice, one meat dish that appears to be packed in a tin box with plum cabbage and pork inside, and one cabbage and tofu soup that is also packed in a tin box, plus a black thing wrapped in cardboard.

The meat dishes and soups were all steaming with a steaming mist.

"Zongzhen, the food in this barracks is too good, but some don't pay attention to dignity and humility, and the generals and sergeants are the same", Zhou Yuji's personal soldiers sighed while arranging for him.

"I just looked at it young, those big-headed soldiers also ate meat dishes like this, it's really extravagant."

He pointed to the black object wrapped in cardboard and said, "I heard them say that this thing is called chocolate, and it is eaten as a snack after a meal, and it is said that it can be filled." ”

Zhou Yuji looked surprised, "Where did this material come from, I will remember that I purchased it all the way along the way, but there is no such thing." ”

His personal soldier plucked his head and said: "Didn't the big battalion give an order before, asking for the unification of the logistics and supply of all armies, and the marshal also set up a new commander who is responsible for the deployment of materials, and these are the ones they assigned to our battalion." ”

Zhou Yuji remembered that Liu Ximing had said such a thing, but he was also talking about the unified establishment of the army, so he didn't pay special attention to it.

According to Liu Xi's arrangement, all the 65,000 troops were combined, and after the war, generals and officers at all levels were arranged to make arrangements, and they were no longer promoted by the general officers.

At the same time, Liu Ximing will set up an ideological and political department, a training department, a staff department, an armed selection department, a vehicle driving department, and an arsenal department under his account, which will be responsible for ideology, training, staff officers, promotions, logistics, and equipment.

Of course, Liu Ximing's statement is that after such unification, it will be convenient for command, and at the same time, it will also be conducive to docking with the yamen of the military department.

But Zhou Yuji was shocked at the time, wouldn't it be equivalent to recovering all the power of the general soldiers into the hands of Liu Ximing, Cao Bianjiao and others should not be able to agree.

Who knew that the reality directly made Zhou Yuji's jaw drop, Cao Bianjiao, Shao Rong and others didn't even let out a fart, and directly and obediently agreed to Liu Ximing's arrangement.

Zhou Yuji was about to go crazy at that time, didn't he say that many of the chief military officers now listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, what the hell is going on.

So in this case, it is understandable that he is not aware of the changes in logistics.

It's really strange that it happens every year, especially this year.

Zhou Yuji became more and more surprised by Liu Ximing's methods, and immediately he sat down and tasted them one by one.

This one is unbelievable, the meat dishes are all soft and sweet together with the plum vegetables, and as for the cabbage and tofu soup, it is even more salty and suitable.

Zhou Yuji was surprised in his heart, and immediately finished eating this ration a few times and began to wander around to check it.

He knew in his heart that although the food was not as delicious as the food in the Beijing restaurant, it was delicious for ordinary sergeants.

Sure enough, the entire camp was filled with the rich smell of food, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp dressed in studded cotton armor burst into tears when they ate.

With such logistical supplies, what else is there to fear from the army? Zhou Yuji's heart was hot.

What Zhou Yuji didn't know was that not far from the Chinese army, Liu Ximing also took a piece of military food and racked his brains to make up a reason to the supervising army Kong Deyao while eating.

Originally, Chongzhen planned to send eunuchs to supervise the army, but when he came to the Central Plains to mourn, the eunuchs all lost their courage, and secondly, Liu Ximing also made the people in the Chu party go on a fold, and said that the eunuchs in various places were evil.

Only then did Chongzhen give up and reassign Kong Deyao to supervise the army.

This person is a little transparent in the Jingshi, and in the face of a big guy like Liu Ximing, it's not what he says.

The industrial development momentum of the Liu family in recent years has been very fast, and it is almost developing in general.

Of course, it's actually cheating.

You must know that there is only one country that has really relied on its own strength to complete the industrial revolution on Blue Star, and that is John Bull, which took more than 300 years.

The bald eagle in the back, the cottage John Cow that made a fortune dependently, not to mention the Hans cat and the foot basin chicken, was also developed on the basis of the cottage John Cow.

They took only a few decades.

So Liu Ximing has always felt that the bald eagle is the essence of shamelessness in his previous life, you started a cottage and scolded others every day, are you embarrassed?

Of course, those penny licking dogs are needless to say, and the double standard plays flying.

The invention of science and technology itself has a strong sense of chance, John Bull may not have wanted to copycat back then, but unfortunately he couldn't find a partner, of course, he could only cultivate by himself.

Now that Liu Ximing has adopted the doctrine of taking, he has pushed the Liu family's industrial system to this level in ten years, and he still feels that it is a little too slow.

It was with the development of the industrial system that the regularization of military logistics had long been on the agenda in Luzon.

Due to the production of tinplate, canned food began to gradually appear in the Luzon military rations.

At present, the military rations of the Liu family are also modeled on the system of later generations, which are divided into three types: Class A military rations, Class B military rations and Class C military rations, which correspond to different war needs.

Since the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Driving Department of the Governor's Mansion of the Three Armies of Luzon has placed orders of nearly one million taels for the food workshops under the Ministry of Industry, and has continued to hoard them in Nanyang.

This is the convenience of Liu Ximing and others today.
