My Daming New Empire

"The so-called strategic logistics refers to the daily and long-term arrangements made by the officials headed by the Ministry of War, Sima, staff, driving department, and treasury department. This strategy is to develop the various branches of our Ming The long-term combat effectiveness of the army is the goal, and it is a long-term and stable task.

Therefore, this is the most important thing, but we should not be impatient, we should slow down, and everything should be in line with the long-term interests of our Ming Dynasty.

Battle logistics, on the other hand, takes preparations for a battle as its main goal.

This is a war, and there is no need to delay. In terms of accounting, military supply management, barracks construction, ordnance transportation, grain transportation, etc., everything must be coordinated with the battlefield to achieve victory.

As for tactical logistics, this is the preparation for a battle, which needs to be coordinated with the battlefield and soldiers, so that everyone can achieve the maximum combat effectiveness.

Military logistics is like a big tree, strategic logistics is like a tree trunk, which does not move; campaign logistics are like branches, which are half-moving; tactical logistics are like leaves, which are fully moving.

All logistics are for front-line service, and everything should be adapted to changes in the battle situation. "

Yang Rong knew that Huang Yuan was in charge of all the logistics of Taisun's going to sea, eating, drinking, and sleeping for 10 people, and the changes brought about by the separation and aggregation of the fleet. He had to adjust various supplies from time to time, and he was very particular about a person's ability .

Hearing Huang Yuan's detailed answer, he also knew that it was difficult for him just in theory.He bowed to Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, I want to conduct a deduction with Commander Huang on the sand table with the enemy and us. Only in actual combat can we determine whether Commander Huang can replace the minister and drive around."

Zhu Di nodded, laughed and said, "Zunzuo. I have found a good opponent for you!"

Zhu Di promised that his servant would take Yang Rong and Huang Yuan to the side hall.

In the side hall of Jinshen Hall, Zhu Di set up many large sand tables.After the Ming Dynasty’s surveying and mapping technology directly surpassed the limitations of the times, all kinds of sand tables were built very exquisitely. The sand tables built strictly according to the scale were almost the same as those of later generations, except for the lack of satellite remote sensing and the embellishment of complete climate characteristics. .

They went to fight, but Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji did not go together.Zhu Di was willing to meet Huang Yuan today, so he naturally believed in Zhu Zhanji's recommendation.

He understood Zhu Zhanji's intentions very well. Huang Yuan could replace Yang Rong's role in the army's expedition, but Huang Yuan lacked Yang Rong's experience and qualifications in court affairs.

Therefore, replacing Yang Rong with Huang Yuan will not damage the strength of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army, and Yang Rong's staying in Yingtian Mansion will help Zhu Zhanji more.

Even if Huang Yuan's ability is slightly insufficient, as long as he can perform well, Zhu Di will choose to use him and leave Yang Rong to help Zhu Zhanji supervise the country.

But after the early court was over, the ministers who were waiting to play were all waiting outside the palace. It was impossible for him to waste state affairs because he went to watch an unimportant sand table confrontation.

And Zhu Zhanji was left by him, so he naturally handled government affairs with him. Through the handling of various affairs, Zhu Zhanji's ability can also be exercised.

After Yang Rong left, Huang Huai was the head of the Cabinet of Bachelors.

Huang Huai was the No. 30 Jinshi in Hongwu's 5th year in the spring list. He was appointed as an official scholar and entered the officialdom.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he assessed all the previous ministers, and summoned Huang Huai in the left room of Fengtianmen to inquire about political affairs.

According to the situation and political situation after the "Battle of Jingnan", Huang Huai stated his opinions, and the answers were fluent, which was very consistent with the will of the ancestors.Afterwards, Huang Huai, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Yang Rong, and Hu Yan entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion to pre-order the maintenance, and Huang Huai was in charge of the edict.

Later, Huang Huai served as a bachelor of Youchunfang University in Zhanshifu five years from Yongle, and became Zhu Gaochi's second vassal.

At that time, there was Zhanshi Jinzhong in Zhanshi's Mansion. Jin Zhong was the Minister of the Ministry of War and was not in charge of the affairs of Zhanshi's Mansion. Huang Huai was able to be valued by Zhu Gaochi.

In the original history, Zhu Gaochi was late because of Zhu Di Yongle's 12-year Northern Expedition, and all the officials except Yang Shiqi were put in prison, and they were not released until Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne.

But in this life, because of Zhu Zhanji's role, this did not happen.

Later, Yang Shiqi was not liked by Zhu Di because of his high knowledge but insufficient ability to deal with political affairs.

However, Yang Shiqi was very popular with Zhu Gaochi, and he often asked him to explain scriptures and handouts. Zhu Di simply recalled Huang Huai, who was slightly more capable, to the cabinet, and sent Yang Shiqi to Zhu Gaochi.

Now Xie Jin follows Zhu Zhanji, Hu Guang has passed away, the cabinet is headed by Yang Rong, and Huang Huai is the second assistant.

The first minister Zhu Di met was Yao Kuan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. In the name of Sichuan governor, he went to Sichuan to supervise the local administration.

Now that I am about to leave Beijing, I hereby bid farewell to Zhu Di.

The governor and governor, including the chief military officer, are all special officials of Ming Dynasty.These positions are generally not permanent, but they are of high rank and can supervise the civil affairs power of a province or even across provinces.

Sichuan was hit by an earthquake last winter, but due to the difficulty of the road to Shu, it was difficult for the imperial government to provide relief to Sichuan, so it basically relied on local relief.

But the grain and grass could not be sent in, so gold and silver and special officials had to be sent out to appease the people.

This kind of interview is just a routine. Zhu Zhanji watched the performance of the monarch and his ministers, and Yao Kuan took the order out of Beijing.

After Yao Kuan left, Zhu Di asked, "Does Zhan Ji have any opinions on the current system of governors?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Civilian governor, supervisory inspector, military and administrative inspector, this is the system of supervisory administration, which is very appropriate. But it is difficult to enter Sichuan, and the emperor did not think about opening the Shu road?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said with a smile: "I have never thought about it in all dynasties, but it is extremely difficult."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "My grandson has checked the hydrology of the Yangtze River and learned that there are many reefs in the section where Hubei enters Sichuan, which hinders the boat. Now that there is a lot of gunpowder in the imperial court, my grandson is wondering if it is possible to use gunpowder to blast away the reefs and open up waterways."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "This is a good idea. When I leave Beijing, you can arrange for the Ministry of Industry to investigate the water situation. If you can open up the waterway to Sichuan, it will benefit the country and the people."

Zhu Zhanji agreed, and the second person to be interviewed was Du Sui, the commander of the Ningqiang Guard.

Since the discovery of a large number of saltpeter mines in Jiangyou, Ningqiangwei, which was originally a peaceful corner, has become an important transit point.

The saltpeter excavated from Sichuan was transported to Shaanxi through caravans.Then go down the Han River in a small boat until the Danjiang River is replaced by a big boat and transported to the capital.

Ning Qiang Wei was originally just for the imperial court to deter the mountain barbarians, but now it has taken on the important task of land transportation of saltpeter.

There are many ethnic minorities, the roads are dangerous, and people's livelihood is difficult.Nowadays, there are many caravans that rely on transporting saltpeter. Although Ning and Qiangwei have made a lot of money, ethnic conflicts have also increased.

Du Sui was repeatedly impeached last year for massacring mountain barbarians who did not go well with Ming Dynasty. He believed that he killed too much in the southwest and was not conducive to unity.

Zhu Di is not the kind of emperor who likes to be tolerant and calm in everything. He summoned Du Sui to Beijing last winter. Not only did he not punish Du Sui, but he rewarded Ning Qiang Wei.

Now that this year is over, Du Sui wants to go back to Hanzhong, and bid farewell to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di met Du Sui, he asked Zhu Zhanji again. "Zhanji thinks, should the mountain people be suppressed or appeased?"

Zhu Zhanji had already come to a conclusion in his mind, and responded calmly: "My grandson thinks that obedient people should be comforted, and rebels should be suppressed. Hold a knife in one hand and candy in the other."

Zhu Di laughed and said: "As expected of my good grandson, he knows what I mean! If you do it, what should you do?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "In addition to slaughtering rebels like Grandpa Huang is now, we should also lure those mountain people in the deep mountains to surrender and belong to my Ming Dynasty."

"How to lure them for profit?"

"Release land, reward land reclamation, and expand trade."

Zhu Di nodded, then turned to ask Huang Huai. "What does Huang Aiqing think?"

Huang Huai looked at Zhu Di's satisfied smile, how could he pour cold water on him at this time.The emperor is very satisfied with this grandson, although this move slightly hurt Tianhe and killed too much, but he will not mention it at this time.

He said with a smile: "Your Highness's move is well-planned, and it is really a good strategy."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and ordered Wang Yan. "The next one is the household minister to report the budget, right? Let him in."

Just after the Chinese New Year, Daming was very peaceful during this period, and Zhu Di again wantonly delegated power to the lower hall department. During this period, there were not many affairs.

The Great Court Meeting on the first day of February will officially allow all ministries to report their budgets, so the Ministry of Household Affairs will be a little busy during this period.
