Chapter 322: Plan Adjustment
Sure enough, the person in charge of the Military Management Commission sitting opposite also knew the stupidity of this question, and took a small sip of the tea bowl there, with a posture of not squinting and not deciding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Obviously, he didn't mean to interject in the slightest to explain.
Although Chen Xinzhong was also embarrassed, his face was silent.
After smiling slightly, he continued to ask, "So, is our food enough?" There's not going to be any mess, is it? ”
"Your Majesty, this is the question that the minister wants to say, the previous civil officials did not care about the life and death of these displaced people, and even caused several civil unrest.
Fortunately, during the war, the militia organizations of the branch units in various places were quite effective in dealing with them, and all the riots were quelled before the riots caused a major disorder.
Later, perhaps fearing that another incident would attract your attention, the civil servants began to find ways to appease the displaced people.
However, if we want to be appeased, we must have food, and in the hands of the people in our jurisdiction and the civil affairs department, there is no surplus food.
Recently, when the minister checked the data of various warehouses, he found that they actually used the materials of the military reserve warehouse. ”
When Chen Xin heard that there had been unrest among the people, his palms clenched violently.
However, this time, instead of asking that kind of stupid question, I continued to listen carefully to the following words.
When the other party said that he had raised more than 100,000 people in vain, Chen Xin expected it.
Although the area under its jurisdiction continues to develop water conservancy facilities and attaches great importance to grain cultivation, with the continuous influx of population, there has been insufficient food.
Therefore, the control of grain by the Chinese side is very strict, and the people are not allowed to buy and sell grain privately, but can only sell grain to a few designated places, and at the same time, grain is not allowed to flow out of the country.
The most important thing is that they continue to import grain from Daming and Annan, and every time there is a little surplus, it will be stored in the military reserve as military food for the Xuan army when it fights abroad.
It is precisely because of this system that we can ensure that the tens of thousands of Xuan troops can continue to fight foreign wars for several years in a row.
When more than 100,000 human resources that have not been effectively planned and utilized poured in, and they have not received reports of large-scale starvation deaths until now, then there is only one possibility, and the military reserve has been opened.
"How's it going? Can these manpower be arranged? ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will do our best to ensure the stable supply of the production and life of these displaced people."
Since there will be no problems with people, then, what the other party wants to say is something else, Chen Xin quietly waited for the following.
Sure enough, the other party took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said, "However, in the local area, there are not enough people to organize and manage, and I hope that the king can mobilize some people from the army to help our military management committee." ”
Drawing personnel out of the army? Chen Xin couldn't help but squint his eyes.
As the person in charge of the Military Management Commission, he should know his recent actions, and he is preparing to land the officers with such fanfare and carry out revenge operations, and the deployment of materials is all done by the Military Management Commission.
Material? Thinking of this, Chen Xin immediately realized. He asked, "Is there not enough supplies?" ”
As a tiger ben, the other party actually blushed a little, and said embarrassedly, "The king saw thousands of miles, and the minister really couldn't say it just now, but fortunately you saw it." ”
Chen Xin shook his head helplessly, the current tiger Ben's emotional intelligence is also good, and it is no longer the elm head that he used to be.
"What's going on? Let's see if we can remedy it. ”
"Your Majesty, we have carefully calculated that if we send a large army to recruit the generals, then He may be caught in a long tug-of-war with the Dutch.
Now, we are already in a tug-of-war with the Wa Kingdom, plus the post-gold front on land. That is a two-front war, plus the Korean kingdom with many warlords and forces, it is a three-front war.
If we fight with the Dutch again, it will be a war on the fourth front, the distance between the big men is already far, and the war will start on the fourth front, even if the military reserves are sufficient, our logistics and transportation will not be able to keep up.
What's more, the stock of our military reserve depot has reached the warning line because of the need to arrange those 100,000 refugees.
If the existing situation is maintained and no new battlefield is opened, then we are still 60% sure that we will be able to laugh at the more than 100,000 refugees without major turmoil. ”
Chen Xin nodded: "I understand what you mean." Let me think about it. ”
Chen Xinjue's other party was right, he was indeed a little too rampant, and now that he was fighting on the third front, he actually wanted to provoke the Dutch people thousands of kilometers away.
In the tug-of-war with the Japanese state, there are still some logistical supply problems from time to time, not to mention the big people who are thousands of kilometers away?
However, if he didn't retaliate, would it make the pirate groups around him think something that they shouldn't have been?
Chen Xinke has a deep fear of the famous Zheng Zhilong pirate group in history, as well as his pirate brothers who have turned against each other.
Their own warships have an absolute advantage in technology and single-ship combat effectiveness, but Zheng Zhilong and they are not easy to mess with, how can the power of thousands of sea ships not make people worry.
If, according to the meaning of the Military Control Commission, the initiative is no longer in its own hands, then the subsequent development of events is really uncontrollable.
The current situation is really a headache. "How many soldiers do you need to help maintain stability and planning?"
"Your Majesty, according to our preliminary statistics, we think that it may take at least 5,000 soldiers with relevant experience and high loyalty to help in order to achieve the task of completely stabilizing the area under the jurisdiction after the end of this autumn's harvest."
Chen Xin was stunned, this is the number of two brigades plus two squadrons, and the total number of troops in the Xuan Army is only 6 brigades.
If you really need to use so many people, then your own series of follow-up plans will have to be reformulated.
This is a huge change, although until the other party is a tiger ben, he will not lie to himself, but Chen Xin still confirmed again, "Is the situation serious to this extent?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are a lot of messes left by the civilian officials before, and 5,000 well-trained and loyal soldiers are already the bare minimum we need to manage them."
