Chapter 512: Black Dragon Island's Supplies

(Ran Library)

Sun An was also amazed, although as a senior officer of the Jeju Army, he knew that General Chao had great ability and created a lot of wealth, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that the warehouses that shocked the Huanghua Salt Field were about to burst with mountains of Tianwang rice, soybeans, sorghum, bacon, and frozen fish

It turns out that Shandong has not yet entered the autumn when the Black Dragon Island has begun a bumper harvest, the endless northern plain nomads have a bumper harvest, horses, cattle, reindeer have obtained a good harvest, especially cattle and reindeer, in previous years, cattle and reindeer did not have such fat, thanks to Wang Lun's feed direct supplement policy, what is called feed direct supplement, that is, the black dragon mansion Yamen directly allocated, with the central and southern production of soybeans, Tianwang rice, sorghum as the main raw materials, with sea salt and other minerals with a steam mill for processing, crushing, high temperature extruded into feed pellets

Each herdsman received the feed according to the number of livestock, of course, the feed is still very small, the herdsmen just give this pure grain feed to the livestock who plan to be slaughtered in the autumn to eat, the local herdsmen are mainly horse meat, beef, and reindeer meat, the Yamen of Heilongdao Prefecture is a powerful horse and cattle purchase, and the herdsmen will not be able to do cattle for riding and pulling carts. At the same time as the horses were grazing, they were fed at night, and when they were slaughtered, they fattened up the weight of the cattle by nearly 20 percent, and the meat yield was greatly improved. The pastrami grassland is cold early, the wind is strong, the horse meat beef is dried quickly by the wind, and then smoked with firewood, it becomes a long-lasting bacon, of course, most of the bacon is this downstream herdsmen have to stay and eat for themselves, but even a small part of the sale has millions of catties, and the caravan has loaded more than a dozen ships with huge steam ships

In the central part of the country, near Baiyuwan near the agriculture and animal husbandry are equally important, like the Tunu people, they use soybeans and Tianwang rice as ingredients to raise pigs, the fat is slaughtered quickly, and good results have been achieved early, almost all the farms that have migrated to the farms are a bumper harvest this year, the weather is smooth in the United States, and the wind and rain on Longdao are basically not any major natural disasters, and the Tianwang rice and sorghum are harvested, and the grain is piled up, and the farm workers are happy to bloom one by one

The new Jeju shipyard has opened full horsepower this year to manufacture steamboats, and has added 50 new steam ships to the Jeju army's own transport fleet, and the armor of the ships is relatively weak, and the horsepower is sufficient, and one ship can easily transport more than one million catties of grain, plus some of the original ships, nearly 100 large ships, and transport grain from Heilong Island to Rizhao Port and Huanghua Port back and forth

The grain, bacon, and frozen fish piled up in the warehouse of Huanghua Port are the same as Xiaoshan, and the materials are labor-saving in sea transportation, and more than one million catties per boat are very brisk, but when they arrive at Huanghua Port, it is troublesome to transport them to Zhending Mansion, but a mule cart is only 1,500 catties, a car, a mule, and a mule are also equipped with 2,000 cavalry guards, which is expensive enough, but there is no way to do it, although the Jeju army has begun to take shape, but it is not invincible in the world

Sun An said: "Although the materials of our Jeju army are rich, but they are also obtained by the general's hard work to develop the island, and the team is more than ten miles long, and the land is not easy to defend, let's send the main force in the central part of the country, two lieutenant generals, you can see it."

Niu Gao said: "You are the Lord who will make you the master"

Sun An said: "Okay, then I will arrange Zhou Tong, you are good at taking the lead, and take 200 cavalry to take the lead to spy on the places where the enemy soldiers may be ambushed along the road, remember that we have to guard against more than the Liao soldiers."

Zhou Tong shook the big gun: "Okay, rest assured"

Zhou Tong took 200 elite cavalry to the front of the team, that is, the forward outpost, and when he encountered places that might ambush the enemy, such as canyons, woods, hills, villages, etc., he carefully looked at whether there was an enemy ambush, and once there was an enemy ambush, he immediately fired an arrow to notify the rear, so that the team behind was prepared

"Ma Lin, you need to be careful with two hundred cavalry, don't let the enemy follow you," Sun An said

Ma Lin ordered: "Yes"

Ma Lin took 200 soldiers to the palace, and Sun An, Niu Gao, Feng Sheng and other generals led 1,600 cavalry guards to escort supplies

Although the territory of Cangzhou is not the territory of the Jeju army, but the salt field has been operating in Cangzhou for so many years, and there is Chai Jin's influence in Cangzhou, no one dares to make trouble along the way, and it took seven or eight days to reach Zhending Mansion and Zhao County, at this time, the main force of the Liao soldiers has retreated, and the last bit of remnants of the army You Yong has also been wiped out, Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun also led their troops back to Zhao County, and the soldiers outside Zhao County gathered 60,000 new recruits of the main force of the Jeju army, 40,000 newly recruited engineers, a total of 100,000 horses

Sun An and Niu Gao went to the logistics office to hand over the supplies, and then went to Chao Gai to report that Chao Gai was chatting with the two military divisions and several generals at the military headquarters

Sun An and Niu Gao reported: "3,000 truckloads of materials have been handed over to the logistics department in full escort in place"

Chao Gai said: "The two of you have worked hard, and it is just the right time to see that it is already a cold winter, and the New Year will be celebrated in another month, and there are many people affected by the disaster nearby, and each family can also get some food and a small amount of fish and meat."

"I'm afraid this trip won't be enough, why don't I go on another trip," Niu Gao proposed

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Points must not be enough, since ancient times, there is a saying that we help the people in emergencies, not the poor, we help the people in response to emergencies, it is impossible to manage the people to eat and drink, so the people will be lazy."

Chao Gai said: "At least one trip a year ago, our factory in Jingcheng Mountain should also be improved and improve life, the two of them are tired of running continuously, and they will stay and rest, I will transfer the deputy general Zhao Long from the Luda battalion to lead five hundred cavalry to follow Sun An, this trip is good."

Although Zhao Long's reputation was not prominent before, but the battle against Liao was vigorously fought and made great contributions, and now he is an officer in the deputy battalion, and he is also skilled in bows and horses, and can be regarded as a fierce general

Sun Andao: "It's all up to the general's arrangement"

Chao Gai nodded, and passed down the military order to let Sun An and Zhao Longbu have a day off tonight, and return to Cangzhou tomorrow to continue escorting supplies

Sun An, Niu Gao and others went down, and Chao Gai sighed: "After distributing the supplies, we should go back to Jeju."

Lu Junyi was a little surprised: "The imperial court clearly wants to weaken by resisting Liao, since we have already gained a foothold here, why not take the Zhending Mansion, which can be regarded as holding the throat of the imperial court."
