Qinjin Fan, Dajin—

"Quick! Move quickly!"

"Don't dawdle!"

"Here, here, and there! The rice from these warehouses must be transported to Kyoto!"

"Mr. Iwasaki! Mr. Iwasaki!"

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Iwasaki, the animal power borrowed from Osaka has arrived!"

"We've arrived! Send these animals to the warehouse quickly! There is an urgent need for animals there!"

"yes!"

…

As the war approached, the Qinjin clan became increasingly busy, creating a lively scene.

There is a saying that "before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first."

The two armies have not yet clashed, but the invisible war has already begun!

In recent days, Yataro Iwasaki and Elodie have both entered a busy mode of "keeping their feet off the ground".

As the two main financial pillars of Qin Jin Clan, the two of them had full authority to coordinate the Shinsengumi's logistical work.

Yataro Iwasaki went to the front line to command, and Elodie sat in the financial office.

Although the large army responsible for this battle is a "joint army" composed of various vassal armies, each vassal country has to prepare its own food and grass, and the shogunate will not help provide supplies-this is also a traditional art of the shogunate.

If you can, you can use different methods to harm the vassals and weaken their national power.

Therefore, Seito only needs to take care of the Shinsengumi's logistics.

The "big data" that Elodie had previously established for Qinjin Fan was put to great use this time!

You can tell at a glance how much old rice, new rice, and fodder are stored in the warehouse, and which warehouses they are stored in.

As long as you check the material reserves according to the account books, you will definitely not go wrong.

Classifying all the materials in the warehouse and accurately registering them - this seems simple, but is actually extremely difficult.

Seito can guarantee that there are only five vassal states in Japan that can do this!

Long-term peace, institutional shortcomings...the combination of various reasons made the shogunate and the various vassals look like a grassroots team.

After working as an official in the shogunate for so many years, Qingnobo was used to seeing random accounting, false accounting and other chaos.

Take the "Ojin Book" that made Qingdeng extremely crazy as an example. The account book was full of all kinds of unreasonable figures and materials that did not exist in the warehouse.

This phenomenon caused by the "fool around and you'll get it" work mentality is very common among the shogunate and the feudal lords.

Thanks to Elodie's ability and dedication, Qin Jinfan's financial account books are very clear and clear at a glance, without any falsehoods.

Clear account books + decisive and courageous action = efficient logistics mobilization!

Under the precise scheduling of Elodie and Yataro Iwasaki, bags of rice and bundles of fodder were transported out of the warehouse in an orderly manner, loaded onto trucks, and sent to the front line in Kyoto.

Along the way from Kyoto to Otsu, you can see convoys transporting supplies everywhere.

The astonishingly large transport fleet covered the entire avenue, stretching as far as the eye could see, attracting passersby's admiration.

From the beginning, Qingteng built the vassal state based on the idea of ​​"fighting the Western vassals".

Qingdeng's plan for a rainy day was purely forced by the pressure of reality.

After all, Qinjin Clan is located in the very center of Japan, on the western frontier of the shogunate.

If the vassals of the Western Kingdom want to invade the Eastern Kingdom, the Qinjin Fan will be the first to bear the brunt.

Unless Qin Jin is destroyed, they won't even think about taking a step into the Eastern Kingdom.

On the contrary, if the shogunate wanted to invade the Western Kingdom, Qinjin Fan would become an irreplaceable forward position and logistics hub.

Sitting in such an important strategic position, we have no choice but to take precautions before they happen.

From reclaiming new fields to introducing industry, most of Qinjin Fan's construction projects are centered around "improving war potential."

Qingdeng will focus mainly on the two major projects of "agriculture" and "industry".

In the past six months, through a series of means such as introducing agricultural talents and promulgating various policies, the agricultural level of Qinjin Fan has been greatly developed.

Those abandoned and abandoned old fields have basically resumed production.

The reclamation of new fields also went smoothly.

In one or two years, these new fields will be put into use.

As a time traveler, Qingdeng naturally understands the importance of industry.

As long as the industry develops, it will be no problem even if one vassal can challenge the entire Japan!

Qinjin Domain not only has a flat terrain, but is also adjacent to Lake Biwa and has a very abundant water source, making it the perfect place for industrial development.

However... although Qingdeng attaches great importance to industry, unfortunately, industry is an extremely complicated subject.

With the help of Huluwu, Qingdeng purchased many advanced equipment at very conscientious prices.

With the size of Qinjin Fan, any "industrial full category" project will definitely be a dead end.

The specialty products of Qinjin Domain are tea and porcelain - therefore, Qingdeng focused on building three types of factories based on its location advantages: tea factory, porcelain factory and gun factory.

The first two are responsible for making money, and the importance of the latter goes without saying.

As we all know, industry is not so simple that it can be developed by just buying a few machines.

No matter how powerful or advanced the equipment is, it still needs people to control it.

Today, Japan happens to lack such advanced talents who can operate industrial equipment.

Therefore, we can only train talents from scratch.

Fortunately, the training of relevant talents has gone very smoothly.

Leaving aside the porcelain and tea factories, the gun factory developed most rapidly.

Although you can’t make your own guns yet, you can already make your own gunpowder!

Presumably it won't be long before these factories of Qinjin Fan will be officially put into use.

What a pity... They will definitely not be able to catch up with this war.

In this way, under Qingdeng's careful guidance, Qinjin Fan's war potential can be said to be increasing day by day!

To say that Qin Jinfan is a "war machine"... This is an exaggeration, but it is not completely false!

This war initially demonstrated the war potential of Qinjin Fan.

No one who sees Qinjin Fan's terrifying material reserves can remain calm physically and mentally.

Allies will be amazed.

The enemy will feel a chill running down their spine.

Raising troops for a thousand days is spent in a moment - Qingdeng intends to test the achievements of the Qinjin Domain and the training effectiveness of the Shinsengumi in this battle!

…

…

Kyoto, Nishi Honganji——

Nishi Honganji Temple is located to the west of Kamogawa River and south of Luozhong.

Because of its vast area and convenient transportation, Qingdeng recruited it as the temporary headquarters of the legion.

At this moment, in a secret room in Nishi Honganji Temple, the army commanders headed by Aoto gathered together.

There is no doubt that Qingteng is sitting in the first seat, and behind him hangs a three-leaf sunflower pattern flag, symbolizing his status as a general in the shogunate.

Saigo Kinnosuke and Matsudaira Yoshiho—except for Aoto, the two of them had the highest status in the feudal army—were sitting on the left and right below Aoto.

Hijikata Toshizo, Shannan Keisuke, Kondo Isamu, and other commanders of the feudal kingdom took their seats in order according to their status.

Today's military meeting is a veritable summit meeting.

It is no longer a small meeting held privately by Qingteng and a few people, but a conference where each vassal army must send representatives to participate!

A meeting of this level cannot be neglected.

Everyone, including Qingdeng, was dressed up to attend.

The costumes of Aoto, Hijikata Toizan and others are naturally the light green haori that represents the Shinsengumi.

The leaders of the feudal army, such as Matsudaira Yoshiho, all wore ancestral armor and gorgeous Jinhaori.

A room full of armored generals... At first glance, it seems like we have returned to the Warring States Period three hundred years ago.

In the center of the crowd, there was a long table.

On the long table is a three-dimensional map recently made of clay by Shannan Keisuke and others.
