Chapter 430 Everyone was happy that Quan Xu was going back to the capital to report on his work, and he lacked a gift in his hand, so the General Staff of the whole family army launched an offensive plan codenamed "Spring Offensive" for this reason.With Quan Xu's order, the war machine in Liaodong began to rumble, a large number of carriages were drawn out, and began to undertake the task of transporting materials.Today's whole family army has not completed all the rearmament, and the units equipped with five and a half squads, five or six charges, and five or six squads with light machine guns and mortars are actually only the first brigade of the Marine Corps, and even this first brigade is actually a brigade that is not fully organized.In spite of this, the dependence of other units of the whole family army on logistics is actually not light, and now the main equipment of the whole family army is a mixture of cold weapons and hot weapons, especially the musket soldiers, and the main equipment is still the old model of flintlock pistol, which is numbered as the 30 type in the whole family army, and the rear-loading rifle, the paper shell custom bullet, the three-money lead bullet, each soldier is equipped with 30 bullets, and four wooden-handled grenades.Since the tactics of the whole army were trenches and barbed wire, each soldier was equipped with a collapsible sapper shovel and a large amount of barbed wire.In this way, the whole family army is far from being able to go into battle like other Ming army officers and soldiers, distributing dry food for a few days, carrying grain and grass, and each division of the whole family army, that is, quite a company, is equipped with the original version of mortars, and there are also mortar shells weighing 6.5 kilograms.According to the standard ammunition base of the whole army, an infantry division needs at least six heavy horse-drawn vehicles, and the requirements for road conditions are very strict.After the preparation of the chief staff, the first report was handed over to Quan Xu three days later, Quan Xu looked at the tactical plan formulated by the staff headquarters, his brows furrowed slightly, and unconsciously, the development direction of the whole family army became bloated, in order to cooperate with the five infantry regiments and three cavalry regiments drawn by the whole family army, a total of eight regiments, nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the whole family army needed to prepare 1,200 baggage wagons, and also needed to prepare 4,000 grain and grass supply vehicles.In this way, more than 5,200 horse-drawn carriages alone need to be dispatched, and nearly 15,000 people need to be requisitioned for the transport team.The whole army dispatched at least 20,000 troops, more than 3,000 war horses, and more than 5,000 horses, and the daily consumption of forage was 2,000 stones, and the daily consumption of grain was more than 500 stones.Now it is caught in a vicious circle, more than 4,000 carriages, barely able to provide ten days of supplies for the whole family army, so the more manpower is increased, the more difficult it is to supply.Quan Xu reluctantly found that the restriction on the combat effectiveness of the whole family army is no longer the construction of slaves, but the tragic transportation capacity, if all the cold weapons and equipment are adopted, then the problem is much simpler, the same big car, can provide half a month's supply for the whole family army.These numbers sound like a lot, but in fact there are not much, the total weight is about 1,500 tons, if in the future, a train can be completed, even if the transportation capacity of large trucks is forty or fifty large trucks, but in this era, Quanxu needs to use more than 5,000 heavy carriages, as well as five or six thousand horses.Quan Xu now finally understands why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty poured the strength of the whole country into transferring 700,000 people and 100,000 war horses to provide 100,000 people.It's really delayed by the transportation capacity of the pit father.Quan Xu arrived at the General Staff, he looked at the staff officers and said: "This plan, the commander is not satisfied, 7,000 men and horses are fighting, but we have to bear a huge burden, it is not cost-effective!"
”The staff officers smiled bitterly, and a middle-aged staff officer Zhu Zhaoyi said: "If this is not the case, we can only make a decision, we will go north along the Liao River, with the two wings of the Liao River, within a range of three hundred miles, and choose the opportunity to fight, so that with the convenience of the Liao River, our transportation burden will be greatly reduced!"
”Zhu Zhaoyi is also from a famous family, his father is the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangxi, and Zhu Xieyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War.As a result, when he was dismissed by Chongzhen as a result of the envoy Si Yi Shushi in Jinyi Weinan Town, he was laid off and entered Xuanyingwei through Chen Qian's channel.Seeing that his military knowledge was solid, Quan Xu became a staff officer of the General Staff of the whole family army as a theoretical school.At this time, the Liao River, Quan Xu is very clear, even if the 5,000-ton ship in the later generations, it can still pass, the entire Liao River, there is no decent bridge at all, the ice and snow melt in spring, the river flow is rapid, and it can indeed undertake the transportation task.With more than 40 gunboats and more than 30 artillery pieces of the First Fleet in Liaodong, he is fully capable of undertaking the task of protecting the grain route, but the problem is, Huang Taiji is not stupid, how can he stay by the river and let Quan Xu fight?
Even if he can't beat it, then he can run, anyway, Liaodong's territory is big, and he is not without a way out."
What if it's just cavalry?""
It's actually easier that way!"
Zhu Zhaoyi said: "Each cavalry carries two horses, now in spring, there is no shortage of grass, only need to carry dozens of canned food and jerky, bring dozens of catties of fine grain, the cavalry can last more than a month on the grassland, even if the eight cavalry regiments of the whole family army are all dispatched, there is almost no need to spend logistics supplies!"
”"Pure cavalry combat, it would be too much of a loss!"
Although the Jiannu are nomadic people, although they are not as good as the Han people in defending the city, they are different from the Mongols, at least they can defend the city, and they will defend it, if they send cavalry to attack, it is easy to suffer a loss when counterattacking.Huang Taiji is a very small-minded person, he has suffered such a big loss at the hands of the whole family army, how can he not want to take revenge and come back?"
This is the unsolvable problem!"
Zhu Zhaoyi said: "Food supply has always been the lifeline of expeditions, but it is not without a solution!"
”Quan Xu asked curiously, "What way?"
”"According to the method before the commander!""
What did I do before?"
Quan Xu was confused: "What did I do before?"
”"Soldier Station!"
Jeon Wook is now smiling bitterly or bitterly.In the past, the whole family army established the military station, in fact, it was all his own credit, he purchased food in the later generations, and then used Quan Xu's time and space travel ability to disperse the food purchased in the later generations to each military station.Don't look at the fact that there is not much grain stored in a military station, that is, about 1,000 tons or hundreds of tons, relying on the transportation capacity of this era, it still needs hundreds of carts or thousands of carriages to transport.Quan Xu didn't solve this problem, and said directly: "Then do it!"
”Due to Quan Xu's strength, he turned out to have a serious dependence on the whole family army.This has to be said, which makes Quan Xu very speechless.However, things always need to be resolved.Under Quan Xu's personal correction, the weapons and equipment and forage were ready, and Quan Xu was ready to personally lead the troops to find Huang Taiji's field, but Quan Xu could move three thousand tons of materials over at any time, that is to say, Quan Xu was alone, and two or three thousand cars of ordinary people were on top.The soldiers and horses of the whole family army began to be frequently moved, and all kinds of materials could also be prepared, and all kinds of signs indicated that the whole family army was ready to use troops.Only five days later, before the whole family army officially started.Fan Wencheng arrived in Jinzhou, southern Liaoning with dozens of entourages."
The foreign minister visits Xiu Wubo!""
Excuse me!"
Quan Xu looked at Fan Wencheng coldly and said, "What are you doing here?"
”Fan Wencheng took out a document from his arms and placed it in front of Quan Xu: "This is a little bit of our Khan's heart, and I hope that Xiu Wubo will laugh!"
”Quan Xu didn't look at it: "Let's put it bluntly, I have been with your Khan King for more than two years, and there is nothing to do, and there is suspicion in the court, I must express it, otherwise I can't say it!"
”Fan Wencheng's face was full of bitterness.Is this human speech?
Is this the reason?
However, the situation is stronger than people, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.The whole family army is indeed stronger than the Dajin army, and the Dajin army can't beat the whole family army, although in the past two years, Quan Xu has often blackmailed Huang Taiji, for example, in the three years of Chongzhen, Quan Xu's cultivation cattle are seriously insufficient, so he asked Huang Taiji for cattle.Huang Taiji was helpless, so he stubbornly squeezed more than 6,000 cows for Quan Xu, and sent someone to send them to Quan Xu.With the development of southern Liaoning, the population is becoming more and more scarce, especially the labor force, Quan Xu asked Huang Taiji to be a dignitary, and his attitude was extremely domineering: "You can not give it, if you don't give it to me, you will rob it!"
”In desperation, Huang Taiji also pinched his nose and confessed, and sent more than 30 batches back and forth, sending more than 130,000 people to southern Liaoning, these people were both snatched by Huang Taiji from Guanzhong, and serfs from various families.Now, Huang Taiji is obedient to Quan Xu, Quan Xu still has to fight, is there any place to reason?"
Uncle Xiu Wu, I'm afraid this is not authentic, right?"
Fan Wencheng didn't dare to get angry at Quan Xu, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Dajin is not without the strength to fight, the rabbit will bite if it is urgent!"
”"Then bite it!"
Quan Xu smiled faintly and said: "I can tell you the truth, this time, I sent troops on a small scale, and the commander personally led the team, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and sent troops to Donghewei (now Changchun)!"
”"It's the pasture of the Horqin tribe now!""
That's right, Huang Taiji can let the Mongols together, you can fight the same enemy, defeat me, and have the ability to kill me!"
Quan Xu lowered his voice: "Ben Shuai's knife can also be lent to Huang Taiji for use!"
”Fan Wencheng was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"
”"Jiannu is not monolithic, there is no need to hide this!"
Quan Xu said lightly: "Back then, the four major Baylors, whether it was Amin or Mang Gurtai, were not very good at dealing with Huang Taiji, and handed over the two or one of them to Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai sent them to the capital to make a business, so that everyone was happy!"
