Chapter 241: Logistics

Just as he was thinking about it, at some point, the soldiers who followed him ran up and said: "Commander, Dongping Mansion Yin sent someone to send grain and grass, please send the commander to deliver it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Chenhuan, who was interrupted from his train of thought, turned the horse's head, causing the big black horse who was drinking to be unhappy for a while, and his four hooves trampled in the water, and the splash almost splashed the armor of his own soldiers. If it weren't for the quick hiding of the soldiers, they would definitely be soaked.

frowned, pulled the reins, and Lu Chenhuan, who didn't let the mount go wild, said lightly: "Got it......"

Lu Chenhuan, who has seen so many Beijing officials, and then met a superb Taiyuan Mansion Yin, he is already a little desperate for these civil officials. If it's just a routine routine to prepare food and grass, then it's easy to say. What I am most afraid of is that this Dongping Mansion Yin is also like that Taiyuan Mansion Yin Liang Zhongwen, secretly selfish, and wants to have something to do with this fat man Lu who doesn't want to mess with the civil officials.

The pro-soldier suddenly said again: "Dongping Mansion Yin also said......"

Lu Chenhuan was about to turn around, and when he heard this, he stopped the big black horse and said, "What did you say?" ”

The pro-soldier only promised, and squeaked for a long time before he said: "...... The official who came to deliver the letter said that the government didn't want us to be stationed in Dongping Mansion, saying that we were easy to disturb the people...... "I thought that Lu Chenhuan would be furious, but I didn't expect that Lu Fatzi, who was full of worries, didn't say anything, just nodded and said that he knew.

Lu Chenhuan, who had already memorized the "three major disciplines and eight points of attention," could not have made such a mistake. Lu Fatzi, who wants to be the military general with the highest official rank, has engraved military discipline in his bones.

Ci is not in charge of the army, if even the general takes the lead in violating military discipline, will the soldiers below still take military discipline seriously? Besides, when Lu Chengqi set up the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, he also made a special decree saying that as long as he is in the army, no matter how many ranks, as long as he violates military discipline, once it is verified, the Military Justice Office can act in accordance with military discipline.

Since the establishment of the Great Shun Dynasty, he has always been extremely jealous of military generals, and Lu Chenhuan is no longer surprised, after such a holy decree is issued, it is just one more precept.

Riding their horses back to the garrison, the forbidden army had already spontaneously set up camp on a small plateau still three or four miles away from Shuibo. Looking at the dragon flag, Lu Chenhuan actually wanted to complain very much, at this time, he didn't even hang the boss's handsome flag, and asked to hang this dragon flag, is it really effective?

He entered the camp without stopping, ordered nearly 5,000 auxiliaries, and went to Dongping Mansion not far away to carry food. In fact, at this moment, the grain and grass of the forbidden army can still last for a month, but Lu Chengqi has a holy decree that once the forbidden army arrives at the state capital, the local state capital must provide grain and grass. The logistics support of nearly 50,000 people is still difficult to guarantee, and the forbidden army is the most elite army in Dashun, and the supply has always been of the highest standard.

As a result, Dongping Mansion Yin had already received the holy decree read by the little chamberlain, and had already prepared the grain and grass and piled it up in Dongping Mansion, waiting for Lu Chenhuan to receive it.

In ancient times, the logistics of supplying a force of more than 50,000 horses were cumbersome. During the period of Wenzong, because he wanted to expedition to the north, he had issued a holy decree that the daily ration of the forbidden army was two liters per person, one liter and five hes for the border army, and one liter and three hes for the box army.

Moreover, military rations are not just one type of food, but a mixed supply of various kinds of food. Among them, the rice is calculated according to the full catty, how many liters, how many hu, how many buckets, how many stones, clearly, will not deduct much. The rest, such as millet, is calculated according to six-tenths, that is, one hundred catties of millet, which is only sixty catties equivalent to rice. Barley is converted at 8/10, wheat is converted at 6/10, mustard is converted at 4/10, soybeans are converted at 8/10, and the rest of the adzuki beans, wandou, hemp, and millet are converted at 7/10. This logistical supply model has been set in the Wenzong period.

Because Dashun began to implement three meals a day, and most of the forbidden troops were strong people, the rations were much larger than those of the border army and the box army. In addition, Wenzong also stipulated that when receiving food every month, the soldiers in the west of the city went to the east of the city to collect it, and the soldiers in the east of the city went to the west of the city to collect it, and they had to carry the food themselves.

As for the military horses, it is even more incredible. The military horse is the war horse, which is different from the horse and needs to be fed with concentrate feed, that is, horse beans, to ensure the explosiveness and staying power of the war horse. Dashun stipulates that the concentrate feed ration for a military horse is three liters of horse beans a day, roughage, concentrate feed, and green fodder (fresh grass) are fed together. These are all done by the auxiliaries who are responsible for feeding the horses, and the general soldiers are only responsible for fighting on horseback, and the division of labor is very clear.

The feeding of military horses is the most difficult thing to do in logistics. Because the Central Plains Dynasty has always been dominated by agriculture, there is very little grassland, and the fertility of the grass is not enough to make the military horses grow fat. So the beans must be fed so that the horse can absorb more nutrients. In this way, the auxiliaries who feed the horses do more. First of all, the trough is raised, otherwise the thin horse will be squeezed out by the strong horse and will not be able to eat too much; It is also necessary to regularly quantify, feed less and add frequently, coarse and fine, coarse and then fine, sufficient drinking water and so on.

And why should the nomads of the steppes bother? As long as there is grass, their horses will naturally be well fed, and they will also find blisters to drink by themselves, where is there such a trouble as Han people raising horses!

In addition to food for men and horses, logistics also include all kinds of ropes, tents and other trivial items, and so on. In ancient times, when the Central Plains launched a war, it was often fought with the national strength of one country. During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu and squandered the wealth accumulated by the two emperors of Wenjing, which shows the destruction of the agricultural economy by the war. This is also why the truth of "dividing for a long time must be together, and being divided for a long time", after a long war, people's minds are determined, who is the emperor, and what does it matter to the people? But for two or three hundred years, the war continued again.

Lu Chenhuan didn't think so far, just thinking about hitting the water pool was enough for him to have a headache, where was there still leisure to think about these questions?

The garrison of the forbidden army is not far from Dongping Mansion, and it will be there in a moment. showed the guards of the city the talisman of Lu Chenhuan before putting it into the urn city. As soon as he entered the Dongping Mansion, he saw more than a dozen servants and hundreds of servants, piling up grain in the urn city, waiting for Lu Fatzi to come.

Generally speaking, each state capital will prepare a granary of grain for emergency purposes, although there is no name for frequent closing, but this habit has continued, perhaps also because the Han people are not optimistic about the future, it is safe to have food in hand. Therefore, Lu Chengqi's holy decree did not bring much trouble to the state capitals along the way, and it was enough to divert the grain from the "edge warehouse field" in the state capital, and wait for this year's autumn harvest, and then donate some by the rich gentry to fill the granary.
