On this day in Workshop City, except for the southern track which still retains part of its transportation capacity, all rail carriages were used to transport war preparations.
Even the non-orbital transportation team, as well as the transportation team of the Lao Liu family, devoted all their efforts to transport armaments and soldiers today... Today is the day of the expedition.
As for the transportation for this expedition, not a single civilian husband was recruited; all were soldiers who had transferred to civilian status.
At this point, Zhao Xi has his calculations.
To recruit civilians, firstly, the civilians are not familiar with the disposal of some new armaments. In addition, and the most important point, transporting civilians to transport armaments also requires escort by soldiers. In today's Gongfang City transportation team, everyone has one post and two posts.
Responsibility, everyone has two identities.
He is the kind of dual-purpose talent who is a civilian when he puts down his gun and can fight when he picks up his gun.
To be honest, if we pull out the current transport team, we can even easily defeat the imperial army.
When the whole escort battalion arrived near Gongfang City, at the largest transportation hub of the country, there were neat and uniform rail carriages parked on the track lines that connected in all directions.
This is the real expedition.
Except for the Hedong Road and the entire Western Army, it took three days for the new army to gather in Gongfang City and unite to go out today.
Nearly 50,000 new troops, as well as various armaments that needed to be delivered at once, loaded four to five hundred rail carriages to the brim...
"Your Highness, the soldiers can be transferred so quickly without consuming their physical strength. They can fight as soon as they arrive. This is a major change in the military history of the country."
"Once a rail network is formed within the territory of the country and the DPRK, no matter whether it is internal or external, the world will be free to run."
Di Qing wanted to take back Yanyun, or even strangle Shi Yanran... He endured it, but still used a relatively euphemistic expression.
With such a transfer method, not to mention war mobilization, even regular army replacement has become relatively easy.
These will have a profound impact on the country's current policy on armaments.
After all, he had served as deputy envoy to the Privy Council. Although he was marginal, he had a very clear understanding of the entire country's military strategy.
What about strong trunks and weak branches, what about soldiers and generals not knowing each other, etc.
But now, once all the Imperial Guards have finally replaced their armaments, no matter where the soldiers are, they will be completely dependent on Gongfang City.
As long as you own the Gongfang City, you are equivalent to controlling the military of the entire dynasty.
And today's Workshop City, in terms of loyalty education, is even better than the guard camp.
This is the core point of His Royal Highness’s changes in armaments over the years.
"Shuai Di, this campaign is a test for the New Army. The success or failure will determine the speed of the implementation of the New Army model in the country, and may even affect the country's foreign policy."
Zhao Xi was thinking not only about the military, but also about the overall policy direction of the country.
Therefore, this battle can only be won, and it must be a great victory that can shock Liao Xia and awaken the country's martial heart.
Zhao Xi didn't have to worry about the dispatching of the expedition at all. Xue Xiang, Su Song, and Li Jie, these three talents under him, arranged hundreds of rail carriages in an orderly manner, and even how the entire national and Korean rail network operated during wartime.
, all have detailed regulations.
Today's workshop city and guard camp are accustomed to using regulations to regulate behavior instead of relying on orders.
Everyone in different positions knows what they are doing at what time and what kind of operation orders they execute.
Therefore, within a short period of time, the entire team set off.
The headquarters of the frontline headquarters is located in Qinzhou. During the entire war in the future, all materials transported from Gongfang City to the frontline will be stored and distributed in Qinzhou.
It is nearly two thousand miles from Bianliang to Qinzhou. According to Zhao Xi's request, he needs to reach Qinzhou within seven days, which means that he needs to travel no less than two hundred miles every day.
In this era, traveling hundreds of miles a day is already the limit, but having a track is another matter.
Considering the difficulty of raising horses at stations along the way, Xue Xiang proposed a method of gradually replacing horses.
That is, at each station, all carriages only replace one of the horses, and all horses are numbered to ensure orderly replacement.
In this way, for more than two thousand miles, every position where the cart is pulled can have two opportunities to change horses.
In this way, even if it is such a heavy and urgent transportation, the draft horse will not be scrapped.
To be honest, Zhao Xi no longer dares to underestimate the wisdom of people in this era, but he is still a little surprised by Xue Xiang's thoughts... This is almost the routine operation method of logistics companies in later generations.
Some people say that if you give it a fulcrum, you can pry the earth apart.
Zhao Xi is a little convinced. In this era, he only needs to be a guide, and the road ahead, if explored by people of this era, may not be worse than the one he set.
For example, in the area of firearms, Su Song's continuous experiments led to the emergence of explosive bullets.
Although there is a big gap with the explosive warheads of the future, after all, they have realized their ideas.
Although unstable, it is progress after all.
Was the imperial edict sent out on the day it was agreed upon in the court, or was it rushed to all the troops participating in the war?
Therefore, the generals of all parties, who are above the commander level of the army, must wait for orders in Qinzhou when the Chinese army arrives in Qinzhou.
This is also because the harassment wars in various places are not fierce, and the main force of Xixia is also being recruited and deployed.
To be honest, this should be the fastest time for the country to make decisions, mobilize and even transport troops from the moment the beacon was lit... After all, it took a long time to prepare.
It was a bit hasty for Xixia.
Those so-called border troops were just the actions of various military commanders who, after the Xixia court decided to fight, rushed to pull some supplies from the Song border stronghold before mobilizing troops... After all, under the normal state of diplomatic relations between the two countries, this kind of thing could not be done
Do it so blatantly.
It was also based on this analysis that Zhao Xi dared to ask all commanders and above to wait for orders in Qinzhou and hold a pre-war headquarters meeting.
For no reason, I just want to notify the relevant rules and regulations of this campaign, and ask every soldier to be informed, so that every soldier knows what to do and what not to do.
The most important point is that the generals of all parties need to take away the armaments and materials for this campaign.
Sleeping bags, biscuits and the like had been issued long ago, but the gunpowder shells used in the war and the gunpowder that would be consumed by new weapons were only issued before the war.
this point is very important!
It's really good. Not to mention Di Qing, even the new troops who are about to join the war feel good too.
Along the way, from Bianliang to Qinzhou, they should eat and sleep, but they are getting closer to the battlefield step by step.
My body is not as tired as before, and my heart is not as nervous as before.
Not to mention the years of hard training, just talking about preparing for war, they all maintained sufficient physical strength to enter the battlefield... This has never happened before.
Look at the cart after cart of materials, and then touch the manganese steel armor on your body... We are all born and raised by our parents, so why should we be afraid of Western thieves!
