After a long journey of thousands of miles, the army with strict military discipline not only carried out propaganda and demagoguery, but also helped the poor and gave hope to the people who were living in difficulty.

There is a chance to show in front of the common people that the "God of War" Bodhisattva soldiers must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and their political influence should not be underestimated.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the preparation of materials began in full swing immediately, and the efficiency of river-sea combined transportation was very high.

The rice fields of the three crops in Cochin are intensively cultivated by the hard-working Han people, and the government spares no effort to invest in water conservancy facilities, and the grain surplus here has increased year after year.

Huang Sheng no longer has to worry about grain, convenient and fast shipping makes transportation costs and losses controllable, and the silo grain depots in Nantong Prefecture and Haizhou have stored more than one million stones of grain.

On the Yangtze River, large and small ships shuttling back and forth hoisted the banners of "Huaxia Development River-Sea Combined Transport" and "Daming Caojiang Admiral", and a large number of wheelbarrows and grain were sent up the river to Hankou Town, where the army departed.

Such a long march is not a fool's dream, the Mongols were able to do it more than 300 years ago, and of course it can be done with the strength of the "Nanming" system.

In order to make full use of the convenience of inland water transportation, the food supply points along the way are selected to be close to the big rivers and rivers.

Half a month later, the two battalions of the vanguard were led by Gu Shanhe to the south, bringing 20,000 Liukou Qingzhuang as army laborers.

They are all activists who aspire to become the "God of War" Xiangyong, and their mission is to go to Changde Mansion on the shore of Dongting Lake to establish a supply base for the army.

At that time, there will be many people who will become village warriors because of their serious work and hard work, and it is very likely that those with outstanding performance will be selected as auxiliary soldiers.

In this era, transportation is difficult, and it is rare for modern people to unimagine, and water transportation is the most efficient existence.

The reason why the Silk Road developed in the Tang and Han dynasties and was gradually replaced by the maritime Silk Road in the Song, Meng, Yuan, and Ming dynasties was because the land transportation was difficult, the safety was not guaranteed, and the cost was uncontrollable.

In order to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the navigable Yuanshui of the tributaries of Dongting Lake in the Yangtze River basin must of course be well utilized, and the next task of Gushan River is to advance southwest along the Yuanshui River and reach the unnavigable place to establish a large supply base again.

This is Qianyang County, the capital of Yuanzhou, and further west it will enter the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which means that transportation of supplies requires wheelbarrows and pack horses.

It is not realistic to run a four-wheeled carriage there, unless there is a big investment in infrastructure construction and the construction of roads in the future, so that the efficiency of land transportation can be improved.

It doesn't matter, "Nanming" is now strong, has enough food, has a lot of labor, a lot of wheelbarrows, and a lot of horses, and the logistics work can definitely be guaranteed.

Moreover, the Xindi that was about to be recaptured had been managed decently by the Donghu Dynasty, and the Ming army could save too much cost by raising grain on the spot.

In the occupying country, there is no need to "starve to death or plunder the common people", but adopt the principle and policy of eating a bucket of rice from the enemy country to save one stone of food in the country.

Of course, Huang Sheng will not be polite to those anti-thieves of the Donghu Dynasty, and he doubled the Ming Dynasty and returned it, and even vomited the bile water after eating the Ming Dynasty.

Kill the people of Daming? Hey! Wait for the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species!

The army of the "God of War" is the conqueror, not the savior, and the army will fight all the way to the Indian Ocean from Yunnan, connecting the land of the "Southern Ming".

It is impossible to achieve a quick victory in such a big war, and the condition for a decisive victory is logistical support.

Huang Sheng will use the great temptation of giving away five acres of rice fields for each family and exempting them from tax to attract poor people from the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to immigrate south.

These people became members of the transport team under the leadership of Xiang Yong, and of course there will be too many Toucheng Liukou to participate.

The wheelbarrow is very suitable for mountain transportation, and some scientists have verified that Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and flowing horses are actually wheelbarrows.

In the future, there will be a team pushing a wheelbarrow to transport food and materials on the long mountain road, even if a wheelbarrow can only carry four or five stones of grain, but at this time, as long as there is quantity, there will be quality, and Huang Sheng, who has invested 200,000 strong laborers and 150,000 wheelbarrows, can do it.

In later generations, the common people were able to use wheelbarrows to launch the victory of the Huaihai Campaign, when there were still planes bombing in the sky, and there were homecoming regiments, bandits, and rout attacks on the ground, and the common people in front of the support had to bear the food and military supplies of seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers, and they did it.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Han transport team was also able to participate in the great victory of Southeast Asia.

This is not out of thin air, the quality of the wheelbarrows produced by "Nanming" is as good as that used by the people in the old area during the Liberation War, because most of the wheelbarrows of the people in the old area at that time were still wooden wheels.

"Nanming" has formed an assembly line for the production of unicycles, and the wheels are similar to the wheels of later generations, and rubber pneumatic tires have been used.

Starting from the Yuanzhou Prefecture grain and material distribution center, the wheelbarrow was transported, and four strong laborers partnered to push three carts full of five stones of grain to reach the destination for 3,500 miles.

Along the way, there will be a specially built camp by the logistics department as a foothold, and there will be a shop for repairing vehicles, and the transport team members do not need to cook their own food, as long as they leave food for consumption.

There are ready-made resting places in the evenings, and even boiling water can be supplied along the way.

It takes nearly two months to transport a time, and one stone of grain is consumed on the road, which means that five stones of grain are out of the warehouse, and the number of grains in the warehouse is four stones when it arrives at the destination.

Huang Sheng has always been a scientific manager, and now with the team, the use of civil power is more reasonable, so it is impossible to make all the wheelbarrows fully loaded and travel 3,500 miles to reach the destination.

Of course, we will consider the combination of work and rest, take the five-day journey as a transfer point to relay to the destination, and the transport team members will push three vehicles with three full loads for five days, and then use four days to push the empty car back to continue the next transportation.

Based on the calculation that 150,000 wheelbarrows run three or four times a year, the transportation task of 2 million stone grain can be completely completed, and the transportation team will not be too hard, which is much happier than the professional porter who carries heavy goods on the Tea Horse Road to deliver goods for merchants.

This is enough food to feed nearly a million soldiers and civilians, and the place we are about to reach is not a barren land, and there is also local food production, fish in the river, game and mountain delicacies in the mountains.

The country that is about to be attacked is said to be relatively rich, and since it is not poor, there must be no shortage of food, and it should not be a problem for the "Nanming" army to eat the enemy country.

Huang Sheng was not in a hurry, and the marching men followed one after another, and finally arrived at the location of the assembly place of Kachin State, which should be near Bhamo in later Burma.

Kachin State has been part of China's homeland since the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was part of the territory of the Nanzhao State of China, and the Song Dynasty was part of the Dali State, including the Jiangxinpo region, the Kandi region, and the Hukang region, which were occupied by the British in the last years of the Manchu Dynasty and incorporated into British Burma.
