Chapter 262 Qing Army Spy: My Lord, I Want to Be a Royal Guard
Chapter 262 Qing Army Spy: Sir, I want to be a royal guard (please subscribe!)
At Guangzhou Wharf, in the huge warehouse group, an area was isolated and marked with an eye-catching "Military Restricted Area" sign, where a steady stream of military supplies gathered.
There are electric rifles, flintlock muskets, twenty-four-pound siege guns, six-pound field guns, tiger crouching mortars, black tornado rockets, and hand grenades that have just been produced by the Ming Dynasty Manufacturing Administration.
Bullets and artillery shells packed in wooden boxes piled up like mountains.
There are also a batch of experimental secret weapons for close combat!
Tents, ponchos, military uniforms, military boots and other equipment are arranged neatly in categories under the coordination of warehouse managers who have long experience in bulk cargo management. The labels on each large piece of material have the planned delivery time and actual delivery time of the relevant links.
Signature of the person in charge of the branch site.
The person in charge of the munitions area at the dock dispatched the waybills one by one according to the time schedule. The loaders on the dock pushed the trolleys to quickly load the boxes of goods onto the cargo ship.
Hundreds of miles away, at the Taipingguan Wharf in Shaozhou Prefecture, a large cargo yard has been cleared out early. Gunpowder and other dangerous goods are separated into separate areas. The spacious cargo yard is gradually being filled with piles of materials.
Ming Dynasty was preparing for war in Shaozhou Prefecture in an orderly manner!
"Jinyiwei intelligence shows that Leerjin's army and material transport capabilities have improved by one level compared to when Kang Mazi attacked San Francisco. This person is pragmatic and cautious, and he can be considered a strong enemy!"
Zhu Kezang waited in panic for Leerjin's army and repeatedly checked the status of the army.
At the Guards logistics meeting, Zhu Kezang praised the Taqing enemy's logistics capabilities, but his subordinates were full of confidence.
On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty relied on the co-operation of merchants and the recruitment and distribution of grain and military depots, and the cooperation between government and businessmen to complete logistics. This was much ahead of the ancient times, but because it had to rely on the local administrative system for supervision and distribution, there were many links and involvements.
I have been so busy these days that I have forgotten to discover the local wonders of Guangzhou. What a sin!
Chen Weiguo replied.
Later, under the supervision of Jin Yiwei, he sent the letter to Changsha.
"It's really boring... Then let's go play football."
Guo Yuan, also known as Lai Qian and nicknamed Qing Lai.
As for the equipment of the Johor and Matalan people, most of them were captured from the Qing army, which was completely sufficient.
Moreover, no checkpoints were set up for the Royal Transport Company in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and no help from local administrative agencies was needed. The whole process was simple and smooth, and the actual cost was not as large as imagined.
As long as Zhu Kezang, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's army, made a battle plan, the logistics department of the Ministry of War would break down the materials needed by the army at all levels, compile lists and schedules.
"Soon!"
It's a pity that the cement road from Guangzhou to Shaozhou is still under construction, otherwise it would be faster!
"Of course, compared with our new Ming Dynasty's logistics, the Tatars are just toddlers."
After all, the distance from Guangzhou to Shaozhou is just a simple warm-up for logistics.
The Ming Dynasty Guards have arrived at the Shaozhou front line. Now the Shaozhou front line has gathered more than 37,000 soldiers in the first town, the second town, and the third town. There are also 30,000 Johor garrison and 40,000 Matalan servant troops.
Cannon fodder lineup!
The fourth town, led by Lin Sheng, was stationed in Chaozhou to defend against the Qing army from the Fujian direction!
This is a well-known Ming Dynasty state-owned enterprise, and there are dedicated imperial trainers to supervise the company's operations, further reducing the risk of corruption.
"Guo Laiqian, this fake Ming Dynasty can never compete with the imperial court. Why do you insist on going to Guangzhou to take this fake Ming imperial examination?" A classmate asked Guo Yuan.
Wang Xianwu was full of contempt and said to himself that Nalerjin was going to experience the logistics of their Ming Guards, and he didn't know how many jaws he would lose.
As for material transportation, it is handled by the Ming Dynasty Royal Transportation Company.
Zhu Kezang finally couldn't bear it anymore and summoned an engineering team. In two days, they built a football field with a simple stand. It was under the northern wall of Shaozhou City. He invited his courtiers to play football and even acted as the goalkeeper.
, showing the novices the "stunt skill" of flying to save the ball.
"Sir, I hope this battle can be won as soon as possible. The villain's family is in Chenzhou, Hunan. I really want them to live and work in peace and contentment under the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."
The logistical supplies in Shaozhou are as smooth as they were on Yizhou Island.
There are even all kinds of dried meats to eat every day. Looking at the label on the packaging box, it turned out that it was delivered from Guangzhou to Shaozhou within four days.
A Qing spy who had his braids cut off near Shaozhou Prefecture.
Ming Dynasty's military logistics had a separate department for overall supervision, and it had been institutionalized.
However, at the end of October, Jinyiwei got news: Leerjin's army's gathering of troops and military supplies was not ideal. Leerjin was so angry that he killed many people, and the dispatch schedule might be delayed.
Dongshan Academy, Chenzhou, Hunan.
Jinyiwei is not something you can join just because you want to.
It turned out that this Qing spy had already taken refuge with the Jin Yiwei after he was caught!
Now his task is to spread all kinds of false news to Changsha Camp and carry out strategic fraud.
"Well written, boy, very promising!"
Even the hundreds of lightly wounded soldiers from the previous siege of Guangzhou had recovered from their injuries in Shaozhou and now returned to the army. There was no sign of Leerjin's army opposite.
And just when the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was about to begin, the people were also paying great attention to this battle.
"The enemy troops were trapped in Shaozhou and their morale was shattered. They had to play Cuju to have fun and boost their morale."
However, the warm-up was too fast, and the Ming Dynasty was completely ready for war mobilization.
First of all, the Guards have a small number and simple and unified equipment, so the logistical pressure is much less.
"When the Ming Dynasty finishes this battle, and then the Ming Dynasty officials will give you a political review, you can join the Jin Yiwei!"
Chen Weiguo, the governor of Jinyi Weinan Town, patted the Qing spy on the shoulder and said happily.
"Sir, when will I change into the clothes of the Imperial Guard?" the former Tatar spy asked in a low voice.
This made Zhu Kezang feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to finish the battle early and return to Guangzhou early to see if there were any undeveloped wonders.
We haven't had a fight with the so-called "Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers" yet, so we can't judge how the battle will go, but when it comes to logistics, Ming Dynasty is definitely several levels better.
The logistics of the Ming Dynasty was indeed ahead of the Qing Dynasty by at least an era.
In any case, the logistics system of the new Ming Dynasty has just taken shape and has not yet been tested in major battles. Now the battlefield is focused on Shaozhou, and Zhu Kezang promotes this logistics system, which feels like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
He was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, well versed in classics and history, good at poetry and classical prose, and was recited by scholars.
This former Qing army spy yearned for the life in the Ming Dynasty.
Pan Zongluo, the provincial academic envoy, praised him and said: "The beauty of Wuling lies in his son!"
Although Guo Yuan was talented, he was stuck in the office for thirty years and failed in many examinations. He still devoted himself to his studies in the imperial examinations, studied Confucianism, and was engaged in education and writing.
According to the original historical line, he did not pass the imperial examination until the 50th year of Kangxi (1711), but failed in the imperial examination in Beijing.
"What kind of hypocrisy! As long as I protect my Chinese clothes, it is not fake!!"
