Wu Tai's words at the beginning were shocked, but the listeners' responses were different.

Some people secretly applauded, and some people were indifferent.

There are also people who are secretly indignant: The Shu Wangfu is rich in the world, and the guards are full of food, so they can naturally be invincible.

Poor Lao Tzu's sons and daughters, who have been hungry for several years, have been in arrears for several years, all of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, their clothes do not cover their bodies, their parents fall into bed, their wives are prostitutes, and their children are begging for money...... The officials and soldiers suppress the thieves, that is, the more they suppress, the poorer they are, the poorer they are! It's just two Hanako fighting for a bowl of porridge...... As long as there is enough food to eat in the future, and the salary is sufficient, Lao Tzu's generation of generals and benevolent family members will not be inferior to your gang of grass labels......

Who knows, Wu Tai's next words not only made those who were not convinced red-faced, but also made them fearful.

"The soldiers are poor, and the world knows it. Is it true that the imperial court has no food and no salary?

Definitely!

It is only one of the salaries, and the world's acres of land are increased by one and a half cents! There are also salaries and salaries. The total income of the three salaries is 167 million!

These 16,700,000,000 taels of silver are divided among the soldiers of the world, and a person is not limited to ten taels a year!

There are also countless additional levies, and the grain paid by Huangzhuang Huangdian Guantian Juntian......

Where did all this money and grain go?

As we all know, he was greedy by the civil and military ministers of the imperial court!

When a sum of money and grain is paid, the gentry are greedy and the officials are also greedy; Foreign officials are greedy, and court officials are also greedy!

A sum of money and grain is allocated, and the eunuchs are greedy and the cabinet is also greedy; Civil officials are greedy, and military generals are also greedy!

After plucking the feathers and deducting layers of geese, how much is left in the hands of the soldiers? Half a tael, nothing!

No wonder the soldiers sell their sons and daughters, and they are weak!

The ministers of the imperial court often say: eliminate the useless old and weak, and raise the elite to dare to fight. So it was rumored in the army that those elite families were raised with the blood of soldiers.

This is a big fallacy!

The silver that the family has received, but the silver that should have been received, is nothing more than not coveted. Why should it be called 'benevolence', deliberately confusing the public and blaming others? ”

If Wu Tai's words are made public, not only ordinary soldiers will have the worry of mutiny, but even the family members who have been raised by him for many years will probably deviate from morality.

I didn't expect that this Wu Tai, who doesn't like to show his head, is also a ruthless corner who kills people without seeing blood!

If the ordinary money and grain master dared to be so open-mouthed, he would have been hammered flat by our iron fist!

But this Wu Tai can't. Not because he is the chief logistics officer of the protection **, but because he is sitting next to Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu!

Could it be that we are waiting for a bad luck today? The morning was breezy and some could smell the heat in the air.

“…… Logistics, quartermaster is also!

The quartermaster is a year, and he has millions of dollars and food. If you want to get rich, this is a first-class fat shortage!

In the end, he will be the head of this ** military quartermaster, but not to make a fortune!

Wu Yuying, who is a strict family, has been in the household department for many years. He once said frankly to Yu Chen:

The greed of the court begins with the accumulation of evil. And the weight of the accumulation of disadvantages lies in the intertwined roots. Eliminate the accumulated evils, and the non-holy lord can't either!

Last year, Mr. He asked the last general to join the protector. At the end of the day, he didn't know anything about protecting **, so he asked why.

Mr. He replied: "Young Holy Lord!

The last general shook his head and asked again, and Mr. He smiled and replied again: Supply to the company!

The last general was immediately subdued and bowed down to the door of the prince......"

Wu Tai ruthlessly pierced the abscesses in the supply of food and salaries for the officers and soldiers, and achieved the goal of deterring the generals. Then, he used his interesting experience of joining the protection of the **, gently changed the topic, and quietly returned to the logistics of the ** protection.

Wu Taidao, the victory in the battle of northern Sichuan once again proved the extreme importance of logistics to the victory or defeat of the war.

The use of soldiers for thousands of miles is a taboo for soldiers.

The terrain of northern Sichuan is complex, and it coincides with the cold winter wax moon. Therefore, the battle of northern Sichuan was the most severe test for the newly established General Logistics Department.

To a certain extent, the victory in the battle of northern Sichuan was rammed with a whole ship of grain, piles of quilts, and a large number of guns and gunpowder. And almost all of these military baggage were donated by the Shu Wangfu for free! In order to win the victory in northern Sichuan, the Shu Wangfu in the rich world is almost bankrupt!

In addition to material resources, there are also manpower.

Since the beginning of Miss Luo, tens of thousands of palace members have sewn cotton jackets and cotton pants for the protection of **;

Wangzhuang, a prefecture and county in Sichuan, dispatched a number of personnel, vehicles, boats, and pickers, repaired roads, bridges, and walled cities, compensated the victims, and provided for prisoners.

In this Meizhou battle, the people around Meizhou were once again mobilized to transport grain and dig soil, making a great contribution to the victory.

He reminded all present that in the future, if you are far away from Sichuan and go to war outside the province, the size of the army, the breadth of the battlefield, the distance of transportation, and the number of firearms will be expanded, and the difficulty of logistics will be multiplied.

In order to win in the future, it is necessary to plan ahead and take a series of strengthening measures in advance:

First, it is necessary to strengthen the transportation force of baggage and heavy loads as the main force in the supply of military materials on the battlefield.

Wu Tai analyzed that the firearms, especially the equipment of field artillery, have reached or even surpassed the level of the Jingshi Shenji Battalion.

To increase the firepower of field artillery, the number of shells is more important than the number of barrels.

However, a seven-and-a-half-pound cannon, together with a gunpowder cartridge, weighed an average of ten pounds. A qualified pack horse can carry a maximum of two boxes of sixteen pieces. And on the battlefield, this is only less than half an hour of firing from a cannon.

In Tianbao Village, the average firing volume of the six guns of the first battalion and one company of the artillery exceeded 40 rounds per gun, which was more than the weight of two and a half pack horses. Without the support of the accompanying baggage company, it will lose its ability to continue to fight because it runs out of ammunition.

Therefore, it is extremely necessary to increase the number of specialized baggage transport units in the three-level establishment of the logistics department of the Military Aircraft Department, all military regions, all brigades, and battalions. Battalions are set up with baggage platoons, and brigade-level military districts and field brigades are set up with baggage battalions. The Logistics Department of the Military Aircraft Department and the division-level military district set up a baggage regiment.

At present, the First Mule and Horse Baggage Regiment, which is directly under the Logistics Department of the Military Aircraft Department, was established at the end of last month, with about 3,000 men, 600 standard tarpaulin wagons, 1,200 mules, horses, and oxen, and a maximum transportation capacity of 6,000 stone at a time. According to the plan, in the future, the second regiment of mules and horses will be set up in Huguang to further strengthen the future battlefield transportation force.

Second, it is necessary to take precautions in advance and speed up the hoarding of logistical materials.

How to build a military station quickly and efficiently is a logistical matter that the prince has been very concerned about for a long time.

At present, the prince has approved the setbacks of the logistics department, and has built four large-scale military material storage and transportation warehouses in Chengdu, Chongqing, Baoning, and Huguangli Prefecture, and built small military material storage and transportation warehouses in Songpan, Guangyuan, Bazhou, Dazhou, Kuizhou, Zunyi, Luzhou, Xuzhou, Yazhou, Jiazhou, Jianchang, and other places, so as to prepare for future changes in the war situation.

Third, it is necessary to carry out military-civilian linkage and give full play to the transportation capacity of civilian transport units.

Wu Taidao, as early as the time of the great famine in Renshou, the Shu Wangfu mobilized and hired a 10,000-person grain transportation team.

Sichuan filled Luzhou, and the big ships in western Sichuan all went into battle.

Chen Youfu's third battalion advanced into northern Sichuan, and it was also used to use Wangzhuang's private fleet to coordinate with special baggage troops.

At the end of the year, the slender man of Hezhou and the grain fleet of the Qiu family moved to the war with the army and made great contributions.

The supply of military supplies for the Bashan garrison mainly relied on the Bashan Iron Shoulder Corps composed of the people of northern Sichuan.

Nowadays, Sichuan's shipbuilding, shipping industry and dart industry are in the ascendant, booming, showing a good development trend. Minsheng Shipping Group and Chuanchu Shipbuilding Group were listed on the same day, with abundant funds and are rapidly expanding their scale. Shunfeng Dart Bureau has been included in the second batch of listed companies......

Military transportation is a large order that logistics companies absolutely refuse to abandon, and Dong Kezhi, the general office of Minsheng Shipping Group, and Qiu Ruhui, the general office of the Minsheng Shipping Group, have come to the door and expressed their willingness to continuously deliver soldiers and food and ammunition for the protection of Huguang.

Therefore, giving full play to civilian transportation capacity and implementing effective military-civilian linkage is not only the tradition of protecting the best logistics work, but also the innovation of military logistics in the Ming Dynasty......

Wu Tai took the book and talked eloquently, and it took half an hour before he finished speaking. At this time, Wang Kunshan, the former head of the General Armament Department and now the head of the Armament Department of the Military Aircraft Department, who had a beard under his chin, stepped up the steps.

Wang Kunshan is obviously not used to wearing military uniforms.

He first cramped his hand to the Qiu Ba people in the audience, and then changed it to the brim of the army's hat salute, which made the people below laugh.

Wang Kunshan said, the equipment department at the earliest only a few craftsmen made by the workshops of the Shu Wangfu and the left guard weapons, since worshipping the prince Luo girl as the master and the mother, and there is a huge investment of millions of taels of silver in the Shu Wangfu, now there are three production bases of the Firearms Bureau in Chengdu, Luzhou and Chongqing, and two production bases of the gunpowder factory in Mianzhou, totaling tens of thousands of craftsmen of all kinds.

However, ordnance production is by no means dependent solely on firearms bureaus and gunpowder factories.

Iron and Steel Group, Yazhou Vehicle, Yazhou Leather, Chuanchu Shipbuilding, Luban Machinery, Qiaoniang Textile and countless private workshops and companies, through bidding management and standardized production, have provided a large number of food and clothing materials for the protection of the country.

At present, the equipment of protecting ** has developed from bamboo guns and short spears to fire cannons, and from cloth and cotton robes to iron armor and steel helmets. Even the main battle weapons, firearms and cannons, have developed to the third generation in just two years.

The level of equipment of the guard ** is not only far ahead of the thieves, but also has begun to lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and even the Tartar Elite Cavalry outside the Guan.

However, due to the long-term shortage of important equipment such as firearms, the equipment department has received a lot of criticism, and has also been reprimanded by Shizi and Miss Luo. But as Shizi encouraged him many times, everything changes from quantity to quality, there is always a process, and it always takes time to summarize and improve.

At present, the three-in-one movement of all units up and down the armament department is in full swing, the firearms research institute has been officially launched, and the third phase of the expansion project of the firearms bureau has been ignited and put into operation. New equipment has been continuously developed, production capacity has been greatly improved, and the output of gunpowder has increased month by month. I hope that the generals will have the opportunity to visit the Firearms Bureau in person in the future and experience first-hand what is the "modern industry" advocated by Shizi and Miss Luo.

I believe that the generals will be convinced after reading it:

Why is it said that the great cause of "protecting the country and the people, and the peace of the world" initiated by the prince will be successful!

At the end, Wang Kunshan told the generals under the steps that the third-generation main battle weapons had just been put into production, and the shortage of them was inevitable. I hope that the generals will not scramble, because what they will receive later is likely to be a newer weapon, as the so-called "new army and new guns, old army and old guns"!

Wang Kunshan succeeded in turning the armament work report of the Armament Department into a political and ideological work report of the Ministry of Military Supervision. However, Sun Hong, who was robbed of the limelight, did not mind.

Sun Hong pays more attention to Wu Tai, and pays more attention to the unverifiable story in the relationship between Wu Tai and He Youyi, Wu Tai and Shizi; Pay more attention to the parts of Wu Tai's remarks that are ostensibly logistical, but in fact extend beyond logistics to politics.

The prince had already informed Sun Hong that he would be sent to the Lizhou Military Region to partner with He Youyi and go to the "grassroots training".

Grassroots exercise, Sun Hong is not afraid.

Since Sun Hong entered the Shu Palace, from the palace copywriter to the recruiter, from the recruiter to the propaganda captain, and then from the propaganda captain to the deputy director of the military department, the first deputy director army, and the director army, up and down has tossed a complete cycle.

Moreover, Lizhou is the main combat area to protect the future, and delegating Lizhou is full of reuse.

What Sun Hong cares about is the title of Minister of Military Aircraft.

At present, the Privy Military Aircraft Department of the Shu Palace's Mansion has become the main military staff organization of the prince. The title of Minister of War and Aircraft guarantees him a firm position among the central ministers.

However, the nature of the staff organization also makes it difficult for foreign officers to enter the military aircraft department.

The nine ministers of military aircraft are all attendants of the prince. Liao Daheng, Ma Gan, and Chen Qichi are the court officials around the prince; Zheng Anmin is the chief of the palace; Cao Sanbao is the royal court; Cheng Xiangfeng is the great secretary of the world; Shu Guoping, Wang Kunshan and himself are the heads of the four departments.

Among the foreign officials, He Youyi and the Song brothers, Long Wenguang and Liu Zhenfan in northern Sichuan, and other qualified civil and military personnel were not able to enter the military aircraft department. Therefore, if you decentralize Lizhou, the position of the Minister of Military Aircraft will inevitably be vacated.

Maybe Wu Tai took a fancy to this title, or maybe the prince hinted at Wu Tai, so he would ask for credit for himself in front of the prince and the ministers, and shoot at the old generals of the official army when the prince was reorganizing the army......

However, Sun Hong smiled secretly in his heart: Emperor's mental technique, do you Wu Tai know?

Seeing Wang Kunshan arching his hands and walking down the steps, Sun Hong straightened up and walked towards the prince.

There was almost no change in the young and peaceful face of the prince, calm as a cross-kneeled Bodhisattva, and as warm as a lotus Guanyin.

Sun Hong walked up the steps and saluted the prince with a standard military salute first, and then took advantage of the turn to squeeze out a little smile to face the people under the steps.

Keep calm!

Sun Hong secretly admonished himself.

In order to successfully complete the integration of military forces, the prince of the world tried his best to summon the senior generals separately before the siege to today's army meeting, which was a layer of planning and pressing step by step.

Now, the prince has set up the firebolt, aimed at the target, and waited for himself to pull the trigger.

This is undoubtedly the last assessment of oneself before announcing his position in Lizhou.
