During this period of spring ploughing, Hu Chun visited many places, went deep into the fields of the people, and mastered a lot of first-hand information about southern Anhui, the southern part of Hegu Province, and some areas of Pingshan Province, until the end of April, when he returned to Qifeng County with people.

The footprints he left behind among the people have also become a legend that many people talk about and are highly praised.

Qifeng County, Qi Wangfu, Yuanhe Palace.

Sunlight shines through the glass windows in the meeting room in the side hall.

On the basis of the original sofa, more than a dozen chairs have been added to the conference room.

With the advancement of the war, the current war leading group has absorbed more and more personnel, including the Ministry of National Defense, various departments, night owls, magic arrows, town guards, and the high-level officials in charge of implementation in the Qixing Group, who have also been absorbed.

In the conference room, there is a conference flat-screen TV, which lists the recent data on the production and consumption of war, food, materials, etc., and forms a clear chart.

This is a software designed by Ren Pingsheng from the earth, there is no difficulty, it is basically an ordinary office collaboration software that has been re-shelled.

After handing over to the secretariat of Zhongshuge, Huang Wenguang led people to summarize and enter the data from all aspects into this software, and those dizzying data were automatically generated by the background of the system and turned into charts, and after obvious logical correlation and comparison, it became clear and easy to understand.

After Ren Pingsheng read the data, he is now anxious because of the food.

"The total number of people mobilized this time has exceeded three million so far, and the daily food consumption is an astronomical amount."

200,000 regular soldiers plus 700,000 militiamen, plus a large number of logistical auxiliaries, construction workers, and forced labor to build railways from all over the newly occupied areas.

In addition, there are 50,000 recruits who are being trained at the First Army training base in Qingshui County, and the total number of these recruits has reached the 3 million mark, and the amount of food transported every day is an astronomical amount.

Moreover, as the two armies are getting farther and farther away, the construction of the railway can not keep up with the speed of the march, in addition to the tractor to transport grain, a large number of carriages and donkey carts are also coordinated, and the loss of grain transportation will be greater and greater, and the number of people eating horses and chewing along the way is positively correlated with the transportation distance.

At the same time, there are more than 100,000 refugees from Jingzhou.

Wuzhou has established the concept of the people's empowerment of the monarchy and the regime of the Han people in the propaganda, and there is an obligation to accept these refugees, otherwise the concept of ruling will be doubted, not only by outsiders, but also by the hearts of the insiders.

But since these people have been received, they have to be resettled, which is another food consumption.

"Guangming, how long will there be enough food now?"

Ren Pingsheng asked Lu Yingying, director of the Department of Civil Affairs.

At present, the granaries of the province are all under the management of the Department of Civil Affairs, and the transportation of grain and grass on the front line also belongs to the Department of Civil Affairs in the rear to coordinate in a unified manner.

"According to the current consumption, it is enough for about two months, and it will last until the beginning of July at most.

However, by that time, the summer grain had also begun to be stocked up one after another, and as long as the war ended before October, there should not be much of a problem in terms of grain.

Moreover, most of the provinces we have taken down are the grain producing areas of the previous dynasty, so the prince does not need to worry so much. ”

Lu Yingying said comfortingly.

"The situation in the world is changing rapidly, and it may not only be a problem of the war in the south now, but the problems faced in the future may be even more serious.

Food is the fundamental problem, and the more the better. ”

Ren Pingsheng shook his head.

He looked farther, and felt that even after the set goal was accomplished, it might not be possible to rest for a while.

The Daru dynasty is too strong!

Announcing that "take the Central Plains in three months" and "Anyone who blocks the heavenly soldiers will slaughter the city", these arrogant words caused an uproar in the whole world.

Under the command of the barbarian soldiers, the world was also in a panic.

The Jing Dynasty fought with the Ruertes, the Jin people, and the Hagenta people, which lasted for decades, and the barbarians were fierce and well-known, and the officers and soldiers of the Jing Dynasty did not even dare to go out of the city to fight with these barbarians.

The warlords of Yanzhao, Yuzhou, and Northern Anhui have long been infiltrated into a sieve by Wuzhou, and their strength Ren Pingsheng could not understand better.

They can't withstand the soldiers of the Daru barbarians, and they may even really be hit by the arrogant declaration of the Daru Dynasty shouting "take the Central Plains in three months".

At that time, according to the predetermined plan, the seven southern provinces have just been taken, and they will immediately have to fight with the ambitious Daru Dynasty.

Even then, the Daru Dynasty had not yet taken the Central Plains.

The million-strong army that Wuzhou has now organized cannot be easily disbanded under the pressure of the next war.

And to maintain such an army for a long time, even with the grain tax in the newly occupied areas, it will be difficult to maintain it until the promotion of improved varieties is completed.

Moreover, in places like Baiyue and Miaozhou, it is common for people to make trouble. In particular, taking advantage of the chaos and having to take precautions, a large number of permanent militia troops must be left here for defense.

And judging from the current situation, it is necessary for Wu Zhouwei to have a new round of large-scale military expansion in the short term.

After all, the current level of mechanized combat in the Wuzhou army is not high.

If, like the modern troops on the planet, the saturation bombardment of rockets, missiles, and artillery shells does not need to maintain such a number of troops to push sideways.

Nowadays, the equipment of 200,000 regular soldiers is acceptable, but in the past, the militia often adopted a rotation training system, and the flintlock pistols used by the militia in each round were basically stored in the armory and used in turn, and the actual number of firearms was not so much.

This time, the militia requisitioned 700,000 people and used all their reserves, but in fact, some people did not receive firearms, and the main weapon on their bodies was a steel knife, which needed to be produced by the rear ordnance factory or even an ordnance workshop and sent to the front line before they could receive it.

Now, the Fabrication Bureau, and even the factories and workshops that have received commissions to produce parts, the labor and machines are all smoking.

The current intensity of the front-line war is not large, the consumption of ammunition is not large, and the storage has been carried out according to the plan for several years, and the pressure is not great now.

But once the intensity of the war comes up, it will be difficult for the production in the rear to supply the consumption of the front.

In the final analysis, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces is still seriously constrained by the development of productive forces.

Nowadays, Wuzhou's industrialization transformation time is still short, and the industrial base is relatively weak.

As for the planes and tanks, they have not been able to be installed on a large scale until now, only the Third Army, which was originally Qin Sheng's first road, has a tank regiment and more than 40 tanks.

The number of planes was even smaller, and the aircraft factories were full of productivity, so they hurried to catch up, and today there were only 36 propeller planes, of which 33 were fighters and only three bombers.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary not only to ensure the stability of the newly occupied areas, but also to guard against a war with the people, and to prepare to deal with the barbarian troops from the north moving southward, and to maintain a considerable level of combat effectiveness, and to maintain a certain number of militia.

The leadership of the entire Wuzhou regime has never fought such a full-scale war. Now it is also fighting a war, summarizing and perfecting at the same time.

"There is a considerable proportion of soldiers among the regular soldiers, all of whom have practiced martial arts, and it is very important for them to be well fed, and their quota will not be reduced if it can be reduced."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment."

The issue of grain and grass is a basic issue, and it is necessary to diversify it.

Lu Junyi was responsible for informing Zheng Shaoguan and Liu Wu that in the trade to the sea, especially with the Yao State, the Yan State, the Lü State, and the Yue State, grain should be the top priority.

In addition, the Department of Finance and Taxation, the Department of Political and Legal Affairs, the Department of Agricultural Administration, and the local yamen have joined forces to crack down on the problem of non-governmental grain merchants hoarding and living in strange places. ”

Ren Pingsheng also planned to go to the island of Domei in Africa and bring in a few more boatloads of food for backup.

In addition, the military manufacturing plant on Tomei Island has also been put into operation, and the productivity of the factories there and the supply capacity of materials from the global supply chain are not comparable to those factories in Wuzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these barbarians of the Daru Dynasty are very strong in combat. According to the information sent back, these people are indeed the style of barbarians, and the canonized demons are one of their eight princes with different surnames, which is really surprising.

Like the war horses that the Daru cavalry sat on, they were all covered with scales, as if they were covered with heavy armor, and the arrows were bounced out when they hit them, and the batch of flintlock pistols we traded to Jing Dynasty at the beginning could not shoot through the scales of these war horses if they were not hit head-on.

Moreover, a war horse goes up with 800 kilograms. It is said that emaciated camels are bigger than horses, but the weight of these horses is already heavier than camels!

Once the charge is launched, its power can be imagined!

It is said that these war horses are the children and grandchildren of the Qilin King of the Daru Dynasty who interacted with horses. ”

Ren Pingsheng said.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt incredible. I also have some general impressions of the behavior of the barbarians.

It does not pay attention to the law, does not pay attention to morality, does not value human ethics, and is barbaric and powerful.

Liu Qiang nodded and said: "The Ministry of Defense has only analyzed it based on the limited information it has obtained now, whether it is the Beiwan Group, the Zhao thief in Yuzhou, or the Zhu thief in the land of Yan Zhao, it is difficult to resist the soldiers of the Daru army.

War between us and the Daru army is almost inevitable. ”

"Prepare for war, we have a certain strategic depth compared to these warlords, but it is better not to let the flames of war burn on our land."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Lord Wang, the spies from the Tiger Fang we sent have just sent back the news, and at the beginning of the month, there was a turmoil and chaos in the Daru Dynasty.

According to the news, King Wucheng Tuoba Mountain led an army of 150,000 troops straight to Kurong City, the capital of the Dalu Kingdom.

Tuoba Sheng, the eldest prince in the capital of Jingzhou, also led his soldiers to the north and went straight to Kurong City.

The person who now sits in Jingzhou is Tuoba Feng, the third prince of the Dalu Dynasty. ”

Wei Feng pushed the door and walked in at this time, and threw out a big news as soon as he came in.

"Any further news?"

Liu Qiang asked.

Wei Feng shook his head: "The intelligence officers of the Divine Arrow Division have just set foot in the Tiger Fang, and this news is really not new.

If you want to get more core information, you can't do it yet.

However, we have already installed the bugging device in the yamen of the tiger side, and we may be able to find out the specific reason for this happening later. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Qiang nodded: "King Wucheng is the younger brother of the emperor of the Dalu Dynasty, the eldest prince of Tuoba Sheng, these two people are the same, leaving behind the things on the battlefield and eagerly returning to Kurong City, presumably something important happened, this matter is likely to ······"

He said, glancing at the people in the room.

"Something to do with the Barbarian Emperor?"

The rest immediately thought of this as well.

"King Wucheng Tuoba Mountain, it is said that this person has made great contributions to the unification of the northern territory of the Luts, and has always been interested in the throne.

These two people rushed back one after another, could it be that something happened to the barbarian emperor himself? ”

Liu Shu guessed.

"But among the Luts, legend has it that Tuoba Yuan himself is a great martial arts master, and he is only fifty years old, which is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period."

Lu Yingying frowned and said.

"Wei Feng, the Divine Arrow Division should pay more attention to this matter."

Liu Qiang instructed.

Wei Feng nodded at him.

"Come to think of it, the Daru army is in Jingzhou and has not moved for the time being, which may have something to do with this matter."

As soon as Ren Pingsheng spoke, the discussion in the room suddenly disappeared.

He crossed Erlang's legs, and his fingers tapped lightly on his knees: "No matter what happens within the Barbarian Dynasty, it will always be good for us, let us have more time to unify the south, and also allow us to make more preparations." ”

After the meeting, Ren Pingsheng took the lead in walking out of the Yuanhe Palace.

"Young master, there is a snow rabbit at noon today, a honey snow rabbit."

Xiao Wan also came out of the conference room, followed Ren Pingsheng, tilted her head slightly, and said to him.

"Recently, there have been a lot more monsters on the table, and the turmoil of folk monsters has increased?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Xiao Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not a monster from Wuzhou, I encountered it during the trip of the two armies, and I found a monster with a bad reputation among the people, so I picked up the grass and beat the rabbit, and cleaned it up by the way."

Many of these youkai were sent back.

With these different demon pills, we may have more inhumans to awaken next. ”

"Well, the more Inhumans we have cultivated, the better."

As he spoke, when he returned to Jingxinzhai, the two of them heard the sound of Le Daozhai outside the wall, and there was a sound of beating their chests and feet.

Apparently someone else has failed to challenge the black box.

"It's been so long, and no one has succeeded."

Xiao Wan couldn't help but sigh.

The Black Box is open to anyone, and as long as they can succeed in the challenge, there will be great rewards.

Moreover, the black box in Qifeng County, and even among many martial artists and aliens, has become a very topical thing with the fermentation of time, and if the challenge is successful, it will be able to spread its reputation immediately, and it will be a pair of fame and fortune at that time.

There is still an endless stream of people who come to challenge every day.

Even Li Fugui and Li Gonggong, who had come to Qifeng County, had come to challenge it.

"Inside the black box, there is a huge valley, there are mountains and rivers in it, and the periphery is wrapped in a dark mist, as soon as the minister enters it, it is immediately like he has been lowered his head, his head is dizzy, and he loses his direction in one step, fortunately there is a rope tied to his waist······"

Li Fugui looked for some interesting things he saw when he was in Qifeng County and said.

"My companion is in Wuzhou, but I have seen a lot of scenery. I thought that I had seen all the good things in the world, but this Wuzhou was different everywhere, amazing everywhere, that Qi Wangye, it was rumored in Beijing that he was a fairy, you have seen him, do you say yes or no? ”

A woman dressed in ayara and with a heroic face lifted the sedan curtain, and looked at the city outside with a pair of eyes, and couldn't help but marvel.

"Ahem······"

A cough came from the car.

"Your Majesty, ······"

The woman turned her head and saw the man covering his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and the blood stains had already stained the silk red.

His face was very pale, his eyes were dim, and his eyebrows were tired, as if he might fall down at any moment.

Li Fugui knelt there, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to gently support him.

My stomach hurts, and I'm not in good shape, so I have to reverse the time in the past two days and try to resume the update time before Wednesday.
