From Huangzhou to Anqing Mansion, there are water and land routes to choose from, and it is natural to say that it is fast or waterway.

It's just that this military order is urgent, and there is not enough time to requisition military and civilian ships for shipment, you must know that the Jiangzhou, Pengze and other places that this waterway will pass through are all the territories of the Red Dragon Village, Black Dragon Village and Yilong Village in the Yellow Flower Swing, who would dare to break through easily if the naval army escorted it?

In addition, now that the Yangtze River is entering the autumn flood in July and August, there is also a great safety risk in sending boats to the lower river.

As for the land route, there is only one road to choose from: Xianshui County, Qizhou, Huangmei County, Susong County, and Taihu County, but after the Breaking Stone Army broke the Taihu County, they expelled people along this road to Huangzhou City, who knows if this road is safe now.

In the past few months, although there has been news from Susong County, except for the county seat, which is still in the hands of the government, the rest of the places have lost control, and it is rumored that there are many bandits in the local area, and the roads are also not quiet.

Moreover, the biggest problem today is that there is not enough time to mobilize enough ships to carry grain and grass by water, and there is no time to mobilize enough vehicles to carry grain and grass by land.

This is first of all 5,000 stone grain, in the Song Dynasty, one stone is 92 (Song) and a half, one stone is about equal to about 120 city catties in later generations, with an ox cart can hold 18 stone grain (the carrying capacity is about one ton), 12 stone for donkey carts, 10 stones for mule carts, and an average of 15 stones for a cart to calculate, it takes 300 cars to load them all.

The transportation of forage and canned meat is even more troublesome, because the forage is relatively fluffy, whether it is an ox cart or a mule cart, at most a cart can pull about ten loads, 10,000 loads of forage and calculate how many cars to load. As for canned meat, the Huang family has always used standard wooden boxes to pack, a standard wooden box is one foot two high, two feet four in length and width, and one box contains 12 cans. Loading on the upper layer of the car can be loaded with a maximum of 12 boxes, and then up to 4 layers, that is, a large cart can hold 48 boxes of 576 cans, and 20,000 cans require at least 40 carts

If it is in accordance with the usual way of summer and autumn grain storage, with the continuous rolling transfer of the people and ants moving, these materials can be reversed and transferred by a convoy of more than 100 vehicles at most, but now the military order issued by Tong Guan is to be escorted to the city of Anqing Mansion before August 15, and there must be no mistake.

Although this is a common phrase in military orders, if you want to think about the Liangzi secretly formed by the Yao and Huang families and Tong Guan, I am afraid that the speculation about the ambiguity in it is by no means groundless.

So, Huang Jie also watched his uncle and them discuss in the inner hall of the government for a whole afternoon like ants on a hot pot, and the final data is: Huangzhou Mansion and Macheng and Huangpi counties can be transferred about 1,200 people in service, about 180 vehicles in service, and about 200 hired vehicles can be requisitioned by the people in Huangzhou, and there is no accurate data in Macheng and Huangpi. In addition, there are about 150 civilian ships and boats in service under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou, and less than 100 ships can be requisitioned, and there is no definite information on how many warships and warships can be borrowed from the Ezhou Naval Division, but according to the usual prevarication, there should be 36 bow fighting ships and large sea falcon ships, 24 bow ships and 100 bow boats and river shuttles stationed in the naval barracks of the Ezhou Metropolitan Command Division, but it is difficult to say whether the other party will borrow them or not.

It should also be noted here that the "in-service" of this citizen refers to those who have not completed their service in this year, and for some of them that have been completed or completed with money and grain deductions, the government cannot forcibly levy them, and the insufficient part requires the government to provide money and food for recruitment.

So when it was nightfall, the following conclusions were roughly drawn: there were not enough people and not enough vehicles by land; There are not enough ships on the waterway, and there are not enough escort warships.

As for the problem of time being too tight, it can be ignored directly, the official road from Anqing Mansion on Huangzhou Road is more than 560 miles long, and even if it is 30 miles a day by land according to the standard speed of the army, it will take 20 days. Besides, Tong Guan also made a little clever, neither emphasized that he should take the land route, nor did he say that he was not allowed to take the water route, if he took the water route, the water journey would only take five days, but the yellow flowers were not easy to break through, and the wind and waves of the autumn flood on the river were not easy to avoid!

However, what Tong Guan issued was not a government order, but a military order issued by the Xuanfu system envoy, and if the government order was disorderly, it could be sealed and disobeyed, and the problem of the military order was huge: no matter whether the requirements of the military order were disorderly or not, whether it could be done or not, it must be done first, and then try to defend it, otherwise it would be a great crime of disobedience and disobedience.

Now all the chief officials in the Huangzhou Mansion have known about the accident of canned meat, although they can't figure out what kind of relationship between the Yao and Huang families, which obviously belong to Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei and the Sumen family, and Tong Guan, but Tong Guan's behavior against the Yao and Huang families is clearly a louse on the bald head and a firefly on the night of the first day of the new year... It's too obvious.

When the lanterns were first on, Cao Zhizhou patted the board and said: "At the current autumn flood, the government is expected to refuse to help the Ezhou sailors, and they will take the land route!" Tonight, people were sent to Macheng and Huangpi overnight to recruit and mobilize the people, and ordered them to assemble in Huangzhou before the 28th. In addition, there were tens of thousands of displaced people outside the city, so the government treasury was opened to recruit displaced people who were willing to return to Susong, Taihu and other counties. Hu Yu and Yao Rong also went on a trip, Hu Abssi went to Huangpi, and Yao Abssi went to Macheng and Gwangju, and they must make every effort to get rid of the vehicles and people in the three places. Striving to leave before the first day of the first day of the first month of August and arriving on the 15th of August did not violate the military order, nor did it cause our colleagues in Huangzhou to delay the landing of the military plane. ”

During the afternoon discussion, Cao Zhizhou and the general judge Chen Mingde set the tone on this matter, although it was obvious that Tong Guan was targeting Yao Zheng and Huang Jie's uncle and nephew, but Yao Zheng was also the main secretary of Huangzhou, and it was also the duty of Huangzhou Mansion to handle government affairs such as grain and grass, and it was also the duty of Huangzhou Mansion to do so, and we must not sit back and watch Yao Zheng be unlucky, otherwise everyone will definitely be sure and must eat the fall of the imperial court because of this matter.

Cao Zhizhou slapped the board, and everyone naturally had nothing to say, and the general judge Chen Mingde also said: "Don't slack off, you can't talk about this matter or the final battle of this relief for the homeless." The official expected that Captain Tong led the army south this time, whether it was to declare or ask for payment, it would definitely be able to eliminate the rebellion of the Broken Stone Army, and then the merits of the monarchs in this battle would definitely not be missing. ”

Chen Mingde, as a general judge, has the right to go straight to the ban, and has been in the sea for many years, so he naturally sees the pros and cons of this. On the one hand, he has the power to hold Huangzhou, and he also has a friendship with Yao Zheng, and Yao Zheng is now obviously hugging the thigh of Taiwei Gao Yu, plus Huang Jie and Su Niang's family business, it can be regarded as connecting the heaven and earth with the people of Sumen in the world, so at this time, it is more beneficial than disadvantageous to fall to Yao Zheng's side.

On the other hand, in the past few months, relief to the homeless, repairing official roads and river works, and even opening up a mountain farm in Huilongshan to recruit tea households to reopen the tea shop, and this Huang Wanlianzhuang has invested about 100,000 yuan to attract investment...... Which one is not done by Yao Zheng and Huang Jie, and which one is not shared with him Chen Mingde, so of course this kind of thing that has helped and helped relatives, of course, cannot be pushed out.
