In May 198, Li Ming officially announced that he would relocate the administrative center back to Shouchun. However, preparations have been made since the beginning of the previous two years, and now that it has been officially announced, it does not seem abrupt.

Besides, Shouchun itself is the seat of governance in Yangzhou, and the yamen is completely built according to the scale of the office, while the seat of Jiujiang County was originally on the side of Yinling. On the other hand, Wang Yu's Zhenbei General's Mansion was also relocated from Shouchun to Xiang County in Pei County.

After a month of relocation, and the yamen has been sorted out, in addition to changing the working environment, each engagement has gradually adapted to the new office environment. A year ago, Li Ming had already prepared a mansion for them in Shouchun. However, after a year, they seemed to have bought the houses of two or three families in the surrounding area, and then expanded them after opening them.

There are also some people who think that they are surrounded by ordinary people, so they pay for a new residence or something.

"In other words, the scientific examination, the general examination and the palace examination will also be held here in two years!" Li Ming looked at the mansion, this place is indeed much wider than Wanling, and the scale is also much larger. No wonder Yuan Shu called the emperor and would use this place as the capital.

"Shouchun used to be the capital of the Chu State, and later as the seat of the Yangzhou Thorn History Department, the scale is still a bit large. However, if the lord ascends the throne, it will be okay as the capital of the country. Guo Jia reminded on the side.

"I don't like to be this kind of emperor in a corner of peace, I really want to set the capital here, I'm afraid that others will still think that my ambition and ability are just the princes of one side. Unless one day I break into Chang'an and drive Liu Ting away, I don't plan to be the emperor! Li Ming said slowly.

"But if the Central Plains are pacified, the lord should also be king. Many people are waiting for this day, and it is not good to chill their hearts. Guo Jia reminded again.

"If the Central Plains is really pacified, this can also be considered!" Li Ming nodded, after really occupying the Central Plains, he was called the king, in the history of China, it was also justified, even if he was directly called the emperor, I am afraid that he would be recognized by many people.

After settling down in Shouchun for three days, and seeing that it was also mid-June, news came back from Jeju Island that Zhang Mo's troops had arrived safely on Jeju Island, and had begun to replenish troops, began to transfer Tsushima Island, and then landed on Kyushu Island.

"It's good to be safe, make a copy and give it to Cai Yan to save her worry." Li Ming handed over the report to his close attendant Zhang Song, who had been a member of the Lang Rank for a year since the scientific examination in 197, and was placed by Li Ming's side as a close attendant because of his talent.

I have to say that this guy is indeed a bit ugly, and perhaps because of this, he studies harder than anyone else. In a year, he has surpassed Jiang Wan in terms of knowledge accumulation, which is also the main reason why he can become a close attendant.

"Whoa!" Zhang Song received the order, took the military newspaper, and began to copy it on his desk. I barely read the military newspaper again in the process, and I directly copied it, and I can't forget the ten lines at a glance, this guy is indeed very suitable for paperwork.

"Is the baggage ready?" Li Ming asked casually.

"The baggage has been prepared, a large amount of military rations and military supplies have been transported from Wanling to Shouchun, according to the requirements of the lord, it can fully support a three-front battle! In addition, two days ago, Changsha County Shouxin commented that the materials over there were also prepared, which could fully support the two-front operation! Hearing this, Zhang Song hurriedly stopped writing, raised his head and replied.

"As many as five fronts of the battle, I'm afraid that even Liu Ting will have a headache!" Li Ming smiled maliciously, "Shouchun's wooden track road to Xiangxian has been repaired?" ”

"It was completed a year ago, and it was put into use two months ago, and it can be passed smoothly!" Zhang Song replied.

The so-called wooden rail horse road can be described as a wooden rail railway in later generations. Its two tracks are made of embalmed hardwood, and it is not a train that runs on it, but horses pulling large carriages. Four horses pull the cart at the same time, as long as they start to run on the railway, the horses cannot stop at all due to the restrictions of the sleepers, and can only keep running forward.

In addition, the wooden rails reduced the friction of the wheels, so that four horses could pull two carriages and carry four or five hundred people to move quickly. As long as you change horses at a fixed location and continue to move forward, then you can move thousands of miles in a day, and it is within the expected range.

When the large army was fighting on the front line, it relied on this to transport materials from Jiangdong to the front line, and the second wooden rail road had been planned, and from Shouchun to Zongyang, the railway would be directly repaired to the edge of the Yangtze River. After the experience is accumulated, from Huiji Zhuji to Danyang Wanling; Huiji Zhuji to Yuzhang Nanchang; Yuzhang Nanchang to Changsha Linxiang; Changsha Linxiang to Wuling Linyuan; Changsha Linxiang to Guiyang Chenxian; The railway from Chenxian County in Guiyang to Panyu in the South China Sea will also be put into construction one after another.

To be honest, Li Ming is still a little resistant to this kind of wood-rail railway, which has a relatively high maintenance cost. Just a little line, not to mention the cost of repairing, the cost of maintenance in the future is also an astronomical amount. Even if it is opened to civilian use to make money, it is estimated that it can only make the cost equal, which can be regarded as offsetting the consumption of the military part.

The key is wood, which requires a lot of wood every once in a while, which means cutting down quite a few trees. Even if there were a lot of trees in these years, Li Ming didn't plan to waste them like this. Especially those hundred-year-old trees, according to Hao Lang, even if there is no special stimulation, this kind of old tree can faintly produce aura, such trees are real treasures.

However, in order to ensure his multi-front combat concept, a rapid and depleting supply line was a must. For this reason, he had to restore this kind of pre-Qin thing. At the same time, thanks to the shipyard, without their accumulated experience, it is impossible to build this kind of wooden rail with good corrosion resistance, at least the maintenance cost can be reduced a lot.

"Lord, my subordinates still don't understand, why do we have to fight on multiple fronts?" Zhang Song suddenly asked, "Generally speaking, isn't it always about concentrating superior forces, breaking through the opponent's defense line, and then driving straight in one go?" ”

"In the past, we concentrated superior forces, and that was because of logistical supply problems. One supply line is already very difficult, and if there are a few more, the daily consumption of supplies by the baggage troops is also an astronomical amount. At the same time, the more supply lines, the easier it is for the enemy to target the supply lines, and the more manpower and material resources we need to maintain. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides was low and the equipment was backward, so the number of people fighting became the norm, and it became a practice to concentrate a large number of men in one breath to fight.

Unlike us, we have railroads for supplies, and we are also able to quickly transport supplies to Changsha and Wuling through the navy. At the same time, the increasing grain output in our territory also makes us have the background of multi-front warfare. In the end, because of the popularization of the method of practicing Qi and the improvement of equipment, the number of troops needed at a certain point has been reduced a lot.

In the final analysis, war is itself a matter of exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses. Our biggest knowledge is that there is no shortage of money, and the imperial court does not have so many materials to fight a multi-front war, and if it really starts, it will only catch the other party off guard, and it will become very difficult to support a certain point. Li Ming said with a smile.

"Students are taught!" Zhang Song thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, so he saluted respectfully.

Li Ming spends a large amount of financial budget every year on internal affairs, constantly improving technology and building roads, so that the logistics supply lines are guaranteed, and the equipment becomes more and more sophisticated, and at the same time, the military supplies become more and more abundant.

In a nutshell, the background of war has far surpassed that of Yuan Shao and Liu Ting, so after the qualitative change was completed, the mode of war began to change, and that's it.
