326 Food problems
Hu Guang looked at his father-in-law, and just smiled slightly: "I believe I can win, but what should I do after I win?" Can we afford the food and clothing of so many people? ”
When Lakshen heard this, he opened his mouth wide, he had been a family anyway, how could he forget this stubble.
Seeing that he was no longer talking, Hu Guang turned his head to look at the others, and did not see anyone expressing any more opinions, so he took this opportunity to say: "Since this topic has been discussed, let's discuss the second issue......
No one spoke again, so the first topic naturally ended here, and he handled it according to Hu Guang's instructions, and Ulan also knew about this.
"We have nearly 10,000 men in the Celestial Army, and the logistical burden will be greatly increased. Even with the resources obtained from Mei Dai Zhao, food will still be a problem in the future. Moreover, if the heavenly army wants to develop and grow, this food will not be enough......"
These leaders present can be regarded as the highest-ranking people in the Heavenly Army. Therefore, these people almost all know about the materials called the Heavenly Army.
When Hu Guang focused on this issue, their excited expressions finally lowered. But no, if there is enough food, we can sweep through the west immediately.
Hu Guang saw their expressions and knew that they knew what they wanted, so he continued: "Especially in our Heavenly Army, the Han people only account for a small part. Moreover, among these small number of Han Chinese, half of them hold positions at all levels in the army, and they are the backbone of the Heavenly Army, so they ......"
Many people were a little confused when they heard this, and they didn't know what the chief meant by this, didn't the Heavenly Army advocate the Han and Mongolian families, and the various ethnic groups were one family?
"These people can't be sent out to farm alone, so we call the Heavenly Army Valley empty of a lot of arable land. But the production is very small. When Hu Guang said this, he took out a piece of paper from his desktop, handed it to his eldest brother Hu Kuan, motioned for everyone to take a look, and continued, "This is the estimated grain output that can be produced this year." Because of the severe shortage of manpower, especially the shortage of skilled hands, the increase in production is extremely limited. ”
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the original chief mentioned the proportion of Han people in the army because the Han people were good at farming and the Mongols could not farm, so they had to focus on this.
Some things are engraved in the bones. Although there are Han old farmers who can guide on the side, one person can lead ten to increase the number of farmers. But the Mongols who are good at herding. It's just that you can't learn to farm. Even if it's a one-on-one belt, you may not be able to learn it.
Therefore, after Hu Guang said it, everyone present immediately realized that this was indeed a problem.
"Although we call the Heavenly Army to occupy the Hetao Plain in the next few years, there are indeed countless fertile fields here...... Hu Guang's expression became serious when he said this, "but in the next few years. The severe cold and drought will continue, which will seriously affect the harvest. If there is no experienced old farmer to take care of the fields. There is simply not much increase in production. ”
These leaders here are farmers or herders from the lowest level, and naturally they can deeply understand the impact of these natural disasters on the harvest. Hu Guang prophesied in an unquestionable tone, and no one dared to disbelieve it. Because to some extent, he has been slowly deified in the Heavenly Army.
Therefore, after listening to Hu Guang's remarks, these leaders all realized the seriousness of the grain problem. For now, the Heavenly Army can be sustained by obtaining other people's supplies. But there's only one Mei Dai Zhao around here. Next, if you want to rely on fighting a few battles, you can get more materials, but it is more difficult, and you have to produce them yourself.
After Hu Guang finished speaking, he paused, and let them think about it for themselves. Cai continued: "There are many displaced people and refugees in the Kannai, and the number of them is only a lot more than in previous years. Therefore, we call the Heavenly Army in the near future it is necessary to go back and pick up some people to join us and call the Heavenly Army to increase our agricultural output. ”
When he said this, he emphatically emphasized: "The goal of our Heavenly Army is the Ming Kingdom and the whole world. Moreover, among the Han people, there are farming experts, skilled craftsmen, etc., which are urgently needed by our heavenly army. Therefore, although the number of people will be larger, there is still a need to pick up some Han people. ”
Hu Guangfei spent so much saliva mainly because he didn't want to make the Mongolian leaders present feel uncomfortable. To be clear, to be clear, Hanmeng continues to be united, and this is the most important thing.
Otherwise, with Hu Guang's current prestige, there is no need to explain at all, and no one dares to oppose it in the open.
But if you really want to talk about it, in fact, the step that Hu Guang wants to take into account also has a little ethnic factor, but it's hard to say.
In the entire army called Tian, the Han people held the vast majority of leadership positions, but the number of them only accounted for one-fifth of the army. Although there is harmony at the moment, this abnormal phenomenon will inevitably increase the chance of instability over time.
Of course, it was not Hu Guang who discriminated against ethnic Mongolians and denied them leadership positions. Rather, it was the Mongols who were generally less receptive to new things, and only knew how to graze on horseback, archery, and archery. In the process of learning the concept of firearms, reading and literacy, and accepting the ideas of the revolutionaries, it was generally the Han people who overpowered the Mongols.
If it is said that the Heavenly Army is just fighting for hegemony in the steppe and still fighting the world in the old battle mode, then these Mongols can also use it. But it is a pity that the concept of building the army is to aim at the whole world, and the army building concept from the beginning of the army is to focus on firearms. Even if we can't do it now, we will gradually develop in this direction.
For example, the artillery company is now called the hardest fist of the Heavenly Army, and the Mongols are the most embarrassed to learn artillery knowledge. Therefore, the artillery company is basically Han Chinese, which is something that cannot be helped.
At present, it is necessary to go to Guannai to accept the Han people in order to balance the number of nationalities in the Heavenly Army, which cannot be clearly stated. Otherwise, if Hu Guang said that you Mongols are too stupid and occupy too few leadership positions, and you are afraid that you will have opinions in your hearts and make trouble, you will have to bring in Han people as a precaution. In this way, the slogan of unity called the heavenly army may really become a slogan.
Hu Guang said so much, in fact, it is somewhat filtered. This army called the Heavenly Army can be said to have been created by him, and the Han people in it are also veterans, and the Mongolian leaders present here are related to them. Therefore, as soon as he finished explaining, everyone nodded in agreement.
Hu Guang was still a little emotional, and sighed on the side: "I don't know what the situation in the customs is?" ”
It's his home, and it's been so long since he came out, even if he has no relatives, he still thinks about it.
When several other Han leaders heard this, they all remembered their hometown with many disasters.
Hu Guang smiled after hearing this: "Isn't the first battalion already back, and it is estimated that it will be back soon, and then we will be able to know the situation in the pass!" (To be continued......)
