Chapter 1,227 Disagreement

Zheng Mu didn't dare to look at Zhao Xu's expression: "I think they sold five or six hundred copies, and the whole morning's work was not in vain..."

Zhao Xu couldn't figure out the calculation and asked impatiently: "I want to ask you how much!"

Zheng Mu choked for a long time: "Two... twenty or thirty..."

"What?!" Zhao Xu was stunned: "Just this glutinous rice flour dough, twenty or thirty kungfu in such a short time?! I have so many moves to take the test?!"

Zheng Mu tried his best to hold back his laughter: "I can't help it. This stuff tastes good. When I saw it, some people bought two portions, and even three or four portions..."

Zhao Xu put his hand on his forehead and smiled bitterly: "You go down...this business is so great, I'm tempted..."

Zheng Mu bowed and retreated. Zhao Xu stared at the little glutinous rice cake for a while, then gently dragged it in front of him.

Well, is this thing really delicious?

In March, Yisi, ordered officials to review the formations of the nine military camps in the south of the capital. Wushen conducted a grand review and rewarded them in the suburbs.

In Bingchen, Qingtang blind felt sent envoys to pay tribute.

Su You of the Military Aircraft Department and Wu Anzhi of Xingluo Granary have done a great job in transporting grain and fodder. Seven hundred thousand shi of grain have been distributed and stored in the four states. Please set up a grain mill to process military grain and prepare the amount for incoming and outgoing.

At the same time, the "New Army Garrison Ration Detailed Rules" were presented, which stipulates that when the garrison has no combat missions, the New Army's basic daily meal ration is: one dou of polished rice, half a dou of refined wheat, two taels of fresh meat, six taels of vegetables, and five qian of refined salt.

, soy sauce is five cents, sugar is half a tael, tea is five cents, light wine is three taels, sweets are one tael, and chewing gum is three pieces.

During the campaign, the New Army's ration standards were: one and a half dou of polished rice, half a dou of refined wheat, four taels of beef and mutton, six taels of vegetables, three taels of salted vegetables, one canned meat, half a tael of sugar, five qian for tea, one can of fruit, and biscuits.

One box, three pieces of chewing gum.

Among them, polished rice and refined wheat can be replaced by fried rice noodles, fried noodles or dried noodles.

Correspondingly, the supply of the old army will be reduced by one-third.

At the same time, it was also required that the garrison troops should have half a month's rations on standing, and the rest should be handled by the local transportation departments.

During the war, the military warehouses were taken over by the military. The army marched with three months of rations, and the logistics support needed to be prepared for another three months.

Calculated in this way, 700,000 shi of grain can be used by the Western Army for four months during the war. Therefore, more than 500,000 shi still need to be transferred from Xingluocang.

The results of Gao Zunyu's three sand table deductions have been sent to the military aircraft. In this battle, Su Lie tried his best and had a brutal exchange with the Song army, but in the end he was defeated.

After research, Su You found that the weakest link among all current armies is the logistics link.

For example, Xixia generally only brought half a month's worth of military rations with them when they sent out troops, and in extreme cases, even only seven days.

The same is true for the Liao and Song dynasties, generally only one month.

In other words, if the army does not achieve results within a month, it will have to escort the troops from the rear, and the war will evolve into a battle to seize and protect food.

Nowadays, the Song Dynasty has great transportation capacity, as well as various dry food and canned food processing technologies, and the meal structure is more reasonable, which can greatly reduce the transportation volume of staple food while still ensuring the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

The same is true for horses. You can ensure your physical strength by adding proportioned feed.

These efforts can completely allow the soldiers to carry more rations to fight with the army and reduce the logistical pressure. Although Su Lie's troop formations were impeccable and he even won several local victories, the Song army persisted in exerting pressure.

Months later, the simulated Xixia army commanded by Su Lie still collapsed due to lack of food.

This was a victory achieved even though Gao Zunyu was too careful and deliberately suppressed the intensity of the New Army's attack.

Su You and the veterans of the Military Aircraft Department analyzed the three drills for a long time. In the end, Guo Kui said that the risk of failure of the Song Army that Su You was worried about was very small. As long as the army's own rations could be guaranteed for two months, the Xia people would surely

defeat.

Su You was still worried and forcibly extended the logistics support to three months. Anyway, the planned combat time was after autumn, so there was no time to prepare.

In addition, Su You also used private channels to stockpile 400,000 dan of grain in Longshou Village and Langdu Racecourse, striving to reach 600,000 dan before autumn comes!

This month, the imperial court lost an important minister. The Suizhou general magistrate reported to Suizhou that they were discussing the death of the official Xue Xiang. Zhao Xu resigned from the court and sent envoys to guard his funeral and burial.

After the funeral for Xue Xiang, the information from Xia Kingdom finally reached the court from the border.

As early as early March, Liang Yongneng had had enough of the confrontation with Yu Zanghuama and decided to resolve it by force.

On March 3, Liang Yongneng took advantage of the heavy fog to sneak across Huluchuan and caught Yu Zanghuama by surprise.

Yuzang Huama suffered heavy losses and had to lead his remaining troops to retreat to the northern foot of Tiandu Mountain. While persisting in resisting, he sent a letter to Miao Shi, the prefect of Xizhou, formally conveying through diplomatic channels the news that the Xixia leader had lost his throne and that Li Bingchang had been imprisoned by the Empress Dowager Liang!

Yu Zanghuama described the incident in Xingqing Mansion in detail in his letter, and said that Li Qing was preparing to go to the Song Dynasty as an envoy at that time, and Li Bingchang agreed to cede Quye Henan to the Song Dynasty.

After the Empress Dowager Liang learned about it, she immediately killed Li Qing and imprisoned Bingchang. At the same time, she ordered Liang Yimi, Gong Mengyou and others to gather troops and control the Heliang arteries and cut off the capital's connection with the outside world.

Li Bingchang's royal family members, cronies on the left and right, and tribal leaders from all over the country gathered troops to defend their cities and forts to confront the Liang family.

Liang Yimi, the Prime Minister of the Xixia State, repeatedly sent his trusted aides with silver medals to inform him of the interests and dangers, but no one listened to his orders.

Xixia is now in chaos. If troops are sent to fight against it at this time, Xixia will definitely respond nationwide!

At the same time as this letter was sent, there was also the letter Li Bingchang had given Li Qing to cede the land of Quye Henan, and the belt edict that Li Bingchang ordered his personal servant to risk his life to deliver after he was imprisoned.

In the Yidai Edict, Bingchang asked the Song Dynasty to send troops to help him and restore his country!

After receiving these things, Master Miao dared not neglect them. He immediately dispatched his fast horses and rushed them to the court.

Several letters and Professor Miao's report immediately caused an uproar in the Song Dynasty!

The ministers were immediately divided into two factions: the main war faction and the main peace faction.

However, the funny thing is that this time, Wang Gui and Sun Gu stood together, and Su You and Cai Que stood together!

This time, it is not the conservatives and the reformers who are fighting, but the old dove ministers and the young hawkish ministers.

What's even more funny is that the reasons given by Wang Gui and Sun Gu were the same ones used by Su You before, that is, the Song Dynasty was simply not ready for a war.

Su You once said that opportunities only come to those who are prepared. If you are not prepared, even if the opportunity comes, there will be no good results.

Da Song is now facing its own problems!

First of all, the country has just lost an important minister, which is not a good sign.

Secondly, the first summer flood of the Yellow River came violently. Fortunately, despite the telegraph, Song Yongchen took the initiative to conduct flood control at Xiaowuxi in Chanzhou and diverted the Yuhe River to withstand the flood.

Although the flood has barely passed, it has still caused flooding in a certain area, and the victims need rescue.

And after the flood, signs of locust plague began to appear in the north again!

A secret agent on the Tokyo Road in the Liao border sent information to Xiongzhou, claiming that locusts in Yongqing, Wuqing, and Gu'an counties of the Liao Kingdom were moving to Hebei.

Local governments in many places in Hebei also sent memorials reporting signs of locusts!

Hebei, which has suffered many disasters, is once again facing a severe test!

Therefore, Da Song had no choice but to give up this opportunity!

However, Cai Que insisted that Sun Gu was making alarmist remarks. The river flood had passed safely and the affected area was very small. With the current financial resources of the Song Dynasty, it could be completely ignored.

Since the signs of the locust plague were not yet obvious, local officials were ordered to dig out the eggs and explode them in the sun to kill them. Furthermore, Su You's measures to control locusts in Kaifeng Prefecture were used in advance. It was believed that the locust plague could be greatly reduced.

And now Xiongzhou, Mizhou and Jiaozhou have stockpiled a large amount of grain, up to 400,000 shi, and the Liangzhe Road and Nanhai can continue to transport it, which is more than enough for disaster relief.
Chapter completed!
