After the implementation of these plans in a step-by-step manner, Nanfeng's attention shifted again to the fundamental issue of food. After all www.biquge.info the people take food as the sky, and their stomachs are not full, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty cannot be sustained.

This has a very important negative impact on the social stability of Jiaozhi Town and even the Ming Dynasty.

However, since it had been decided before, grain would be taken from Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. So now, it is necessary to select a more suitable area in the two provinces for the Ming army to capture. In order to achieve the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.

And that's where the intelligence division comes in.

Fortunately, Liao Qing, the director of intelligence, is here in Jiaozhi Town. And because of the proximity to the Qing Dynasty, Jiaozhi Town is also a place where East Asian intelligence is gathered.

To this end, the Ming Dynasty also set up an East Asian intelligence substation in Thang Long City. Intelligence stations in Japan, Korea, and Qing were all under the leadership and command of the East Asian intelligence substations.

Therefore, as long as the intelligence of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces is selected and then analyzed and sorted, it is very easy to obtain the information you want.

Under the leadership of Liao Qing, a group of elite and capable intelligence personnel were transferred from the East Asian intelligence station. Let them compile the grain reserve data of Guangxi and Yunnan into a book in the shortest possible time.

At this moment, in the face of Nanfeng's needs, Liao Qing directly distributed the prepared materials to the participants. It is only because there are more than 50 people attending the meeting, and only about 20 copies of the materials are printed. So every two to three people can read one book together.

However, this did not have a big impact on the meeting!

According to the data, Nanning City in Qujing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, because of its proximity to Guangxi, has become an important grain and grass transit place in the direction of Guangxi and Guangzhou. En'an City in Shaotong Prefecture, because of its proximity to Guizhou, has become a transit place in the direction of Huguang.

Kunming City in Yunnan Province is the seat of governance in Yunnan. Therefore, most of the grain and grass in the west and south of Yunnan are stored here.

Dali City of Dali Mansion is the place where grain and grass gather in Lijiang Mansion, Yonghua Hall, Tengyue Hall, Yongchang Mansion, Shunning Mansion, Menghua Hall, Jingdong Hall and other places.

Therefore, as long as these four places are captured, even if they control most of the grain and grass in Yunnan.

In Guangxi, Guilin in Guilin Prefecture, as the seat of Guangxi, and its geographical location close to Hunan, make Guilin City an important grain and grass reserve in Guangxi.

The second is Liuzhou City in Liuzhou Prefecture, which brings together grain and grass from Sicheng Mansion, Qingyuan Mansion, Sien Mansion, Zhen'an Mansion and other places. So it's also a big grain storage city.

In addition, it is the Wuzhou Mansion on the border with Guangdong. Thanks to the water and land transportation arteries of the Gongjiang River, it has become an important grain transit point.

As long as the Ming army controls these three places, most of the grain and grass in Guangxi will be basically controlled.

And the number of wealthy landlords in these places is only much greater than in other places. Therefore, the amount of grain and grass that can be obtained will definitely increase by one to two percent on the basis of the official warehouse.

This is a happy thing for Daming.

However, it must be considered that these places are relatively close to the mainland of the Qing Dynasty. It is also relatively far away from the town of Jiaozhi in Daming. Important land and water routes are less developed. Therefore, if we want to transport the seized grain out, it is also a question worth pondering.

If there is a lot of rain, the traffic problem will be more serious.

Although the current troops of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces are concentrated in Pingyue and Zhenyuan in Guizhou. But there are still a lot of Qing soldiers left. The Ming Dynasty's grain plan will still cause a lot of trouble.

If they rely on the fortified city to hold on, the time for the Ming army to attack the city will definitely be extended. After all, at this time, the cities were built with very high walls. It is difficult to collapse a strong wall unless it is bombarded with large-caliber shells.

With the abundant grain and grass reserves in the city, it is still easy to persist for more than half a year. And there are many young people in the city! At a critical moment, the government will definitely let them come up to help defend the city.

Although there is no shortage of large-caliber siege artillery in the Ming Dynasty, it is not Nanyang and the Ming Dynasty, and there is neither wide and smooth land transportation, nor water transportation conditions extending in all directions. Even though Yunnan and Guangxi have many river networks, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the navigation conditions are extremely harsh.

There are many sections of the river, and they have even been in pristine condition.

Even in the later generations of developed science and technology, the hydropower resources of Yunnan and Guangxi have still not been developed.

However, with such a short period of time and such backward scientific and technological conditions, it is simply impossible to turn the river network between Yunnan and Guangzhou into a navigable water transportation artery.

It was very difficult to transport siege artillery into Yunnan and Guangxi.

Of course, after the development of successive dynasties, many land official roads have been built in Yunnan and Guangzhou. However, without the input of cement, asphalt and other road materials, the official roads built are very simple. In some places, there are even narrow paths of barren grass less than a foot or two wide.

And the siege cannon is not light in weight and not small in size. Driving on such an official road, the speed is not much faster than that of a snail.

What's more! The frontier has always been regarded as a wild and remote place. In addition to Kunming, Guilin and other big cities and the administrative offices of various prefectures, there may be official road connections.

Elsewhere, there is almost no way out.

Daming wants to transport siege equipment in, which is really a bit whimsical.

The military operations of the Ming army will also be dragged down by this!

In addition, it must also be taken into account that in case the Qing troops in Guizhou are deadlocked, they will get the news that the Ming Dynasty will attack Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. Will you give up the confrontation with the White Lotus Sect and the rebels, and return to Yunnan and Guangxi?

After all, the Ming army was an overseas army, and cities such as Guilin and Kunming were relatively important cities. Coupled with the influence of grain and grass reserves, it is likely to prompt the Qing army to return to help.

It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake!

Relying on the advantages of the terrain, the Qing army may really let the Ming army capsize in the gutter. Let's just say that the local people must also be biased towards the familiar Qing army.

Even if the Ming Dynasty was a pure musket unit, the tactical thinking was all inherited from the modern combat thinking of later generations. It has more than 200 years of experience than the current Qing soldiers.

But it's all ideal!

On the battlefield, the situation is always changing rapidly.

It is likely that a small accident will become the fuse for the butterfly to fan its wings. Cause the whole battlefield, go in the other direction. The Napoleon of Europe is so powerful, isn't it because of a small accident that it became the biggest Waterloo in his military career.

The great Napoleonic Empire, under the attack of the coalition of powers, was reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered.

Although after the analysis of the Intelligence Division, the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners at this time. After a hundred years of comfortable life, it has become very corrupt and degenerate. The combat effectiveness of the army is also very weak and low.
