Take the mall to Datang

Hou Junji has nothing to do with him, what is the vanguard army, they are here to explore the way and charge forward, and it is not easy for him to stop Lu Guogong leading the team out on his own, and he has no reason to stop him, just to test the reality of the Fusang people.

But the problem is still that the horses are not used to it just now, so even if Cheng Zhijie is excited, he needs to correct it before he thinks about it.

On the other hand, the people from the Economic and Development Department went straight back to the trading company after they arrived. This is their place. They don't have to sleep in the barracks with those big bosses, and their responsibilities are completely different. Hou Junji is responsible for leading people to fight, The Ministry of Development is in charge of allocating supplies, which are all agreed with His Majesty before departure.

It can be said that Yuanshan's current role is the chief logistics officer, which is more prestigious than the military supervisor.

Chapter 861

In fact, this was also to avoid trouble. Yuan Shan really didn't want to come, but Li Shimin insisted on letting him come.

No matter what, Hou Junji's strategy couldn't let the logistics out, but he took an intuitive and important position by the way.

Datang Trading House, the construction here is much more perfect than last time. The 8000 men and horses of the Beiya Forbidden Army live here, which seems cramped at all. Dozens of separate super-large warehouses can hold all the supplies on seven ships.

After a busy night, there were still people coming in and out to carry goods one after another. This time, the Cangzhou and Satisfaction brought [-] steam scooters, which were specially used to carry heavy materials.

These steam scooters are all manufactured by Yuanjia Workshop. They are new and improved products, and their stability is higher than the efficiency of the first batch of sales.

He has never given up on the research and improvement of steam equipment, especially the brothers of the Li family who have become passionate about steam. They have improved the large-scale steam equipment made on the Cangzhou ship three times, but they feel that there is still a breakthrough space, there is no plan to install the equipment on the ship for a long time.

The objective factor is that the Cangzhou ships are currently producing treasure ships at full capacity, and if they want to install steam power for them, they can only wait for this batch of orders to be delivered, but they have made great technological breakthroughs in small steam equipment.

This is how this batch of [-] steam scooters came into being. During the test, the efficiency of these steam scooters was very high. The speed was not fast but they could maintain the fastest speed of [-] mph. The odds of stopping a mid-new steam engine are rare.

The rumbling sound at night is caused by the steam carts. These carts are transporting back the coal unloaded from the wharf. A large number of horse-drawn carts and rickshaws have been used. The people of Fusang in Kyushu Island have all come here to help. There is a labor fee of three pennies a day.

The three liters of money can provide a family with white rice, and no one will rush to work.

Especially today, there are too many people who need to be hired. Zhou Ru's three thousand guards are all dispatched.

In the pavilions of the trading house, the lights are bright and the space is very large. Standing on the three towers, you can see far away, and you can also see the lighthouse by the sea and the people who are working.

"Teacher, this is really a good place." Yuchi Baolin said.

Yuan Shan held the red wine glass and shook the red wine in the glass, and said happily: "Maybe you are right, in fact, as long as people have a beautiful heart, any place they see can be beautiful."

"It's too deep, the students still can't understand it." Yuchi Baolin murmured.

Yuan Shan said to Su Dingfang who was on the side: "General Su can get used to it."

"It's very adaptable, but I don't know what kind of plan Lan Guogong has next." Su Dingfang said.

Yuan Shan knew that he was a little impatient. After all, he didn't come to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so he smiled happily: "General Su looks very anxious."

Su Dingfang was a little worried. He was able to come out thanks to Yuan Shan's help as a guard. It is a bit embarrassing to want to go out to fight now, but people of his age are not as reserved as young people.

"Lan Guogong said that a certain person is also wary." Su Dingfang replied.

"Okay, I don't want to ask too much about the war. General Su should lead people to protect Kyushu Island before we talk about it. Senior officials, we need to talk to General Su about the situation here." Yuan Shan said.

Gao Biaoren understood the situation very well, so he said: "The current soldiers and horses of the trading company include [-] Tang troops led by Captain Zhou Ru, and [-] Fusang foot light infantry, of which [-] foot light infantry are all distributed in the north and south. The direction is used to defend Zhouzhou Island and Shikoku Island. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of [-] foot light infantry is much worse than that of our Tang army guards. Not only the armor is made of bamboo, but even a large part of the weapons are bamboo. Guns are nothing more than numbers of people.”

Gao Biaoren's words were straightforward, and Su Dingfang listened carefully. The guard team composed of [-] Fusang people is enough, but the combat power is not enough, and there are no armored weapons. It sounds like a joke.

Yuan Shan guessed what he was thinking, so he explained: "I'm afraid General Su Dingfang doesn't know something. In Fusang, ironware is expensive, but in fact, the overall combat readiness of Fusang's troops is similar. Only the warrior class is equipped with decent knives."

After hearing this, Su Dingfang calmed down, he really didn't understand the situation of Fusang.

How about 5 people fighting for territory with bamboo weapons?

However, he is a calm man, and he never underestimates his enemies.

"Teacher, this battle depends on our Beiya Imperial Army." Yuchi Baolin said confidently.

Yuan Shan nodded and said: "If you want to reduce casualties, you really need your support. In this way, you will set off to the north and south tomorrow. With the current artillery, if there is an incoming enemy, you will definitely be able to make them come back vertically and go back horizontally."

"Hahaha, Duke Lan's words are wonderful." A loud voice appeared, and Duke Lu Cheng Zhijie came upstairs.

"Lu Guogong." Yuan Shan said.

Everyone saluted one after another, there was no way except Yuan Shan, no one was more senior than him, besides, he was the founder of the country, His Majesty's confidant, and one of the founders of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Shan had to be polite.

"You guys are here drinking and enjoying the moon, why didn't you call me? Are you guys studying some ulterior matter again?" Cheng Zhijie came over, picked up the red wine bottle on the pillar, and gulped a few mouthfuls at it.

Yuan Shan was speechless. Is there anyone like you who drinks red wine? He said that he can't taste it, but at least he pretended to keep up with the mainstream. Now that Lu Guogong is doing this, it really hurts the scenery.

Su Dingfang was next to him and immediately showed great hospitality and said: "Mr. Lu is a good drinker, I admire, admire."

Yuan Shan's face turned pale, and he said in his heart that they are all black-bellied guys, and those who can get ahead can inspire stupid people.

Lu Guogong likes to hear people's compliments the most. I don't know if this guy did it on purpose. He said to Su Dingfang: "Haha, well said, you are the general Yuan Shan is very optimistic about. You are very good. Tomorrow, my old Cheng will lead the Jinwu Guard to kill I don’t want to leave a piece of armor, or you come and I will give you the position of a vanguard adjutant, what do you think?"

Yuan Shan was a little speechless when he met the poacher, but think about it, isn't the adjutant of the vanguard also a frontrunner? Is it a pawn, of course not, to put it bluntly, he leads a patrol every day.

Su Dingfang was moved.

Chapter 862 Unexpected Attack

Su Dingfang's heart was moved, and after thinking for a while, he decided it was still wrong.

This time he was able to come to Fusang because he took advantage of Duke Lan and directly agreed to Duke Lu, so what is he, this kind of mistake must never be made.

Besides, Lu Guogong is now a fierce tiger who has been trapped for a long time, and even Hou Junji will have a headache when he goes out. What can he gain if he follows along.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Su Dingfang calmed down and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your kindness. It's just that I'm the captain of the logistics supplies guard now. I can't leave such a vacancy to embarrass the people in the Economic and Development Department."

Cheng Zhijie didn't care about it carelessly, since he didn't agree, let it go.

"Haha, that's okay. Logistics supplies are the guarantee of soldiers and horses. Yuan Shan, our vanguard army will rely on you this time. We need to prepare overnight for tomorrow's departure." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Naturally, the executives are right. You should go to the warehouse in person, but don't worry about the problem. All the supplies of the Jinwu Guard will be distributed according to the actual situation." Yuan Shan said.

Lu Guogong left with a smile, he had no time to delay here.

Gao Biaoren came back after a long time and said, "Mr. Lan, the Jinwu Guard has taken a lot of supplies. Here is the list of supplies."

Yuan Shan took it over and looked at it, feeling funny in his heart, they really want to be a pioneer with so many supplies, they have become an independent vanguard directly, what Cheng Zhijie wants to do can be seen at a glance.

"Forget it, since it is what Lu Guogong wants, let them take it away. Our task is to manage the supplies well." Yuan Shan said.

I deliberately wanted to skip Lu Guogong. Gao Biaoren and others understood that what happened had nothing to do with the Jinwu Guard. It was all Lu Guogong's intention. The management and logistics were flexible. They just sorted out the statistics and distributed the materials. .

Su Dingfang wanted to ask something else, but the people present seemed to lose their mood, and they all packed up and left.

Yuchi Baolin's 8000 troops are all resting. They still don't know what Hou Junji and Cheng Zhijie are doing. Their purpose is clearly to provide artillery support for the main force. The Custodian's strategy needs to be reworked.

The Fusang rainy season will make the gunpowder wet, and the mountain road restrictions will hinder the advancement of cavalry, let alone artillery.
