Chapter 1455 Right, little fish?

According to Lin Jingchun's understanding, in order to deal with natural disasters, Su Yonglin designed a set of very detailed, reliable and effective plans.

For example, if there is a flood or drought in a certain place, the local water conservancy project is the first safety valve. Through the adjustment of water release and storage, it can offset part of the impact of the disaster.

When the local water conservancy system cannot adjust the impact of the disaster, it means that the scale of the disaster is huge, it is not easy to deal with, and requires the intervention of external forces.

At this time, the developed transportation infrastructure can provide convenience for the transportation of food.

A sufficient amount of food entered the disaster area from areas that were not affected by the disaster, and the food price in the disaster area was smoothly stabilized. There was food in hand, and there was no panic in the heart. Developed grassroots organizations had a large amount of food in their hands, and they were able to stabilize the place.

Therefore, a natural disaster that could cause cannibalism in feudal society often did not cause any social unrest in Daming.

Of course there are losses, but the extent of such losses is far from the level that requires central intervention, and local governments can deal with these matters in accordance with the imperial court's "Emergency Disaster Response Management Law".

In response to this kind of thing, the local revival organization often played the main role.

The excellent grass-roots organizations in Daming can always respond quickly to disasters, so as to control the disasters in a small range and not affect the overall situation, so no large-scale disasters and secondary disasters have affected the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty.

In ancient times, a regional-scale disaster often led to a social crisis in a larger region, which in turn led to a comprehensive social unrest, which had a profound impact on the country, and even required the central government to dispatch the army to suppress the rebellion.

And sometimes when a disaster of a larger scale occurs, a powerful peasant uprising will appear, and it will be recorded in the history books.

And what part of the fault is a natural disaster, and a part of the fault is a man-made disaster. Judging from Daming's excellent response results, it may have been clearly answered.

Excellent governance can minimize the impact of natural disasters, thereby reducing financial consumption on a large scale. Su Yonglin has kept the expenditure on disaster response at a low level by continuously optimizing the governance level.

What is a good fighter without illustrious merit?
It doesn't give you the chance to have an attack at all, it doesn't give you the possibility to turn the tide, always get the job done before it happens, and strangle you to death if it happens a little bit. move the world."

After deeply understanding the strength of Su Yonglin's daring to wage war on a large scale, Lin Jingchun has never opposed Su Yonglin's war as seriously as he did in the second or third year of Hongwu. He just mentioned it out of his own habit and stingy nature. .

Today's war to recover the Western Regions also requires the Ming state treasury and local storage systems to spend a huge amount of materials and money, and also requires local grassroots organizations to mobilize a large number of people, livestock, and vehicles to participate in the logistics and transportation.

It's all money, it's all money.

Including the resumption of local production and investment and construction after the war also requires a lot of expenditures, which is a bottomless pit with no limit at a glance.

But for some reason, facing Su Yonglin's strength, Lin Jingchun couldn't help but be willing to believe that behind the large-scale expenditures, as Su Yonglin said, hidden benefits like astronomical figures that cannot be seen.

The Western Regions Reconstruction War has been brewing since a year ago. During this period, there were cultural export influences on the people through the drama troupe and the Shuren Book Club system, and public opinion preparations for the war were also prepared among the people.

In Hexi Province and Guanzhong Province, which are the key areas of this operation, this type of preparation is also quite complete.

The military prepared for the war through intensive education and the study of "The Story of the Western Regions in the Central Plains".

In terms of logistics, the Ministry of Finance has formulated a series of logistical expenditure regulations in advance, as well as compensation policies for the people's husbands. After obtaining Su Yonglin's approval, Lin Jingchun left Zhongdu quickly and went to Chang'an and Xingqing.

The allocation of the entire logistics materials is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, but the logistical capacity required for the 15 troops to attack the Western Liao Dynasty is not enough to rely solely on the logistics transportation of the army's auxiliary troops. It is necessary to recruit civilians to assist, and this involves local mobilization.

Things involving local mobilization require the help of local officials and revival organizations.

The local government was responsible for counting the number of people, distributing rations, recording credits, and post-war compensation, while the grassroots village organizations of the Renaissance Society were responsible for organizing the work.

He held a meeting with Zhao Changlin, the minister of the Shangshu Province of Guanzhong Province, and Zhou Chiming, director of the Guanzhong Province branch of the Renaissance Association, and agreed on the number of people who need to be mobilized in the Guanzhong Province this time.

Afterwards, they rushed to Xingqing House non-stop, and had a conversation with Zhou Lin, the minister of the Hexi Shangshu Province, and Bu Liang, the director of the Hexi Branch of the Renaissance Association, and agreed on the number of people to be dispatched to the Hexi Province.

Lin Jingchun led the logistics working group on a business trip to the western frontier to handle affairs. When a series of logistics work was carried out in place, that is, in the golden autumn of September, Daming was ready to attack Xiliao.

At this time, the kingdom of Khwarazm has already conveyed three requests for help to Daming through the Skynet Army spies, and even promised to bear half of Daming's military expenses, as long as Daming dispatches troops as soon as possible.

Su Yonglin saw that this feeling was good, and on September [-], Hongwu's tenth year, he officially issued an order to enter the army.

In this Western Expedition operation, Su Haisheng, commander of the Second Corps, is the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, Jiang Liangping, the commander of the Sixth Corps, is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, and Han Wei, the secretary of the Second Corps, is the marching secretary of the Western Expedition Army. , with Zhang Qiaonian, secretary of the Sixth Corps, as the deputy secretary of the march.

In this battle, two corps directly under the cavalry of the Second Corps and the Sixth Corps were dispatched, plus 16 cavalry from the Second Corps of the Central Capital Huben Guard, plus the Fourth Corps of the Second Corps, and the No.17 Corps of the Sixth Corps , No.1 Army, and the first battalion of Shenji and the second battalion of [-] firearms troops.

The total number of people is 15, all of whom are the elite of the Ming army.

Or it means that the army is all elite, the only difference is that some belong to the elite, and some belong to the elite of the elite.

On September [-], the tenth year of Hongwu, the order to advance troops was conveyed to Xingqing House, where the Western Expedition army was assembled.

They will start from here, first go to Shazhou, and then split into two routes from Shazhou, along the north and south roads of the Silk Road that people have been familiar with for thousands of years, to launch the Western Liao Empire that they could never imagine. Resolute attack.

After receiving the order to send troops, Su Haisheng was very excited.

"I am determined to be transferred back from Sichuan and Sichuan, and I am waiting for this day! I must fight this tough battle in the Western Regions!"

Jiang Liangping stood aside and looked at him with a smile.

"The Sixth Corps was formed for this big battle. How many years has it been? It must have been five years, right? It's time to wait until this day."

"Yeah... But then again, when the Sixth Corps was formed back then, a lot of senior officers were taken from me, right?"

Su Haisheng patted Jiang Liangping's shoulder with a smile, his eyes were very kind: "I will be the commander-in-chief this time, do you have any opinion? You will completely obey the commander-in-chief's orders, right? Xiaoyuer?"

Jiang Liangping hasn't heard anyone call him Xiaoyuer for a long time.

After all, he is the commander of a corps. He has a high position and authority. His subordinates called Commander Jiang when they met, and Zhang Qiaonian, his old partner, just called "Old Jiang", and even the army knew that he was originally called "Jiang Xiaoyu". There are not many people with names.

But the person in front of him not only shouted it out, but he was also very qualified to shout like this, and Jiang Liangping who shouted had no temper at all.
