Chapter 501 The Logistics System of Dimensionality Reduction Strike

With the help of galloping and shipping waterways, it only took more than 20 days from Chang'an to Youzhou, less than a month.

When Li Tai saw Li Shimin, he immediately saluted and said, "I've seen Aye."

Li Shimin patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said with great relief, "It only took a month for the army to go from Chang'an to Youzhou, and you did your best to ensure the morale and physical strength of the soldiers. To achieve such an achievement, I believe you will be able to do it well." The logistics officer of the army!"

"It's just Aye Shengming, everyone is united, I just move my mouth, they are the ones who really do the work, and they can't be credited!"

Li Tai declined for a while, and then said slowly, "And the road to the north of Youzhou will be really difficult.

From Youzhou to Liuying, there are steep mountains, high mountains, and swamps on this section of the road... The logistics are really inconvenient! "

Originally, Li Tai already knew that Goguryeo was really difficult to fight, and the logistics must be so difficult that it drove him crazy.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have chosen to retreat when he almost took the initiative to occupy an absolute advantage in history.

Instead of considering facing the crumbling Anshicheng and besieged for a few more days, maybe Goguryeo will not be able to hold on first.

It can only be said that the logistical difficulty has exceeded my expectations.

In this era, there is no relatively flat Guanning Passage along the river bank. Qinhuangdao is just a small island. Even Jinzhou itself is mostly submerged in sea water, which makes it extremely difficult for the north to attack Goguryeo.

Li Shimin nodded. The road from Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo is not easy, otherwise Da Sui would not conquer Goguryeo three times.

And after Li Shimin pulled Li Tai into the combat conference room, Li Tai looked at the generals who came with Li Shimin this time and was a little dumbfounded. The commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty directly broke down.

There are Li Shiji, Li Daozong, Yuchi Jingde, Zhang Liang, Cheng Mingzhen, Ashina Simo, Qibi Heli, Xue Wanbei, Niu Jinda, and Li Dejian and Su Lie... The generals who don't know each other here seem to be Ordinary centurions the same.

As for the counselors with him, Du Ruhui, Cui Renshi, Liu Ji, Wei Shi... also had everything that one could expect.

Li Tai searched in the crowd, but he didn't expect even Xue Rengui to come, which really surprised Li Tai.

"Qingque, you have always been in charge of logistics management, tell the generals how the logistics situation is going!"

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai encouragingly, and asked Li Tai to speak out to calm the minds of the soldiers.

Li Shimin was aware of his son's strength, although he would complain, but along the way, if he encountered any difficulties, he could either push his head away from the difficulties, find a way to get around them, and eventually he would come up with a solution!

"Okay!" Li Tai heard Li Shimin's words, and said in front of everyone, "There are two grain roads in Youzhou, one is the original grain road developed by the Sui Dynasty.

I have widened the road to a certain extent, and before the arrival of the army, I have used cement irrigation to make the land as flat as possible to facilitate the transportation of carts or poor horses.

In addition, in places where the height difference is relatively obvious, the use of loading Kongming lanterns is enough to save manpower as much as possible and improve efficiency when loading and unloading materials! "

"Containing Kong Ming Lantern?" Li Shiji was taken aback when he heard Li Tai's words, he was somewhat sensitive to the word Kong Ming.

"Well, in order to facilitate the smooth transportation of materials between Xihai County and Shanzhou, Master Yuan Ke researched a material transportation tool.

The principle is the principle of Kongming Lantern flying to the sky, fix it with ropes, and then allow it to transport materials up and down.

However, this process needs to consume a lot of special coal, which is a bit troublesome! "Li Tai said.

"Can't you guarantee the supply of coal?" Du Ruhui said with a little dignity when he heard Li Tai's words.

"No. When I came to Youzhou, I didn't expect to use this kind of thing, so the top craftsmen in this field didn't dispatch it.

Although we have drawings, materials, and a complete set of materials here, it still takes time to get the most out of the hands-on production! "

Li Tai explained, "Of course, the production of this special coal is a bit troublesome. It's not that you can't afford it, but that it takes time and effort to select qualified coal."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, "Just do what you want, defeating Goguryeo is the most important thing."

Although Li Shimin didn't understand Li Tai's operation in this area, Li Shimin knew that as long as he encouraged Li Tai's internal affairs, it was enough!
For example, Li Tai can clearly write money by hand, but every time he spends money, he still has to compare pennies and bahts.

If he wants to be a faint king, then he just begs Li Tai for money every day.

But if I want to be a Mingjun, I can't let Li Tai spend money every day.

Think about it, I have such a god of wealth as my son, but as an emperor, I can't enjoy financial freedom. I really don't know what the hell is going on!
Seeing that Li Shimin was satisfied with his arrangement, Li Tai hurriedly said:
"The transportation of grain on the road only accounts for a small part, and the most important thing is to avoid accidental insurance.

If it is said that Goguryeo still has a navy secretly hiding, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack on our Datang navy, after being unable to escort food transportation on the surface of the Bohai Sea, at least the basic food supply can be guaranteed, and we can retreat at any time. "

"Then the other transportation route is by sea?" Li Shiji glanced at Li Dejian and asked thoughtfully.

"Yeah!" Li Tai said with a smile, "Thanks to Li Lou's boat annihilating the Goguryeo army, guaranteeing my Tang Dynasty's absolute initiative on the Bohai Sea.

This will allow us to transport materials more calmly, Tianjin, Jieshi (Qinhuangdao), Huludao, and then transport them by land to Liucheng, thus ensuring food transshipment! "

Qinhuangdao and Huludao in this era, although the parts connected to the land were basically submerged by sea water, at least they have emerged from the water.

It's just that it's not the kind of island that can be normally inhabited, but an uninhabited desert island. The most important thing is that the fresh water resources on these islands are not rich enough to support too many people.

However, it is definitely more than enough to be used as a temporary stop at sea.

Of course, the best thing is to break through Goguryeo's Dahang City. Don't look at that place as a human tragedy right now, but if we can really get there, the pressure on food transport by sea will save a lot of food.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shiji couldn't help asking, "King Wei, how much faster is water transportation than road transportation?"

"The time is about three times faster than land transportation, and the quantity of grain transported is several times that of land transportation. Especially the more grain and grass to transport, the more cost-effective it is to transport by water!" Li Tai said to Li Shimin, "Land transportation The transportation is almost every half a month, while the sea transportation is every five days!"

"Well! With these two food roads as a guarantee, I am more confident in winning Goguryeo!" Li Shimin nodded.

"Aye, I have another matter that I need to report to you?" Li Tai asked Li Shimin.

"What's the matter? It's business!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and asked involuntarily.

"Yes!" Li Tai nodded, and then said, "Qingque proposed to build a third grain road, which is to build a wooden plank road along the Bohai Bay, all the way to Huludao."

"This is a rather long plank road!" Li Shimin frowned when he heard Li Tai's words, "It's not easy to build."

Li Shimin knew very well that this section of road was at least a hundred miles, otherwise the logistics of the Sui crusade against Goguryeo would not have been that difficult.

If Li Tai hadn't brought up this matter, Li Shimin would have already wanted to scold his mother.

After all, if the plank road of this road wants to be built, Li Shimin thinks that it will take ten years to build it!

"The length is correct, but it is relatively normal to build plank roads on high-altitude cliffs, with ships shipping around, and it is much more comfortable than building on cliffs!" Li Tai said at this time.

"King Wei, I don't know if I know why you insist on building this plank road along the river bank?!" Du Ruhui asked Li Tai at this time, expressing his doubts.

"Well, because this is Youzhou, which is different from Chang'an and Luoyang, the river may not freeze in winter.

Therefore, in the winter of sea food transportation, we have to look at the sky and see if the Bohai Sea will freeze this winter! "

Li Tai looked at the crowd and said, "If it doesn't freeze, then it's easy to use ships to transport food, but if it freezes, it's not easy for ships to transport food.

At that time, we can only rely on road transportation. Not only will the loss of food on the road increase greatly, but even the speed of food turnover will drop a lot. I don't think it is safe to hand over my fate to God! "

"But King Wei, this is building a plank road that is more than a hundred miles long!

Even if all the plank roads on the side of Jiannan Road are added up, I am afraid that the length of this plank road is only there! "

At this time, Master Cui Ren stood up and said, "According to your opinion, this road not only needs to be built, but also needs to be built before this winter! This, this, this..."

At this time, Cui Renshi already wanted to scold Li Tai for talking nonsense, even the generals around him showed disbelief.

"I said, I have been preparing for the crusade against Goguryeo for more than ten years!" Li Tai said lightly.

Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone closed their mouths unconsciously, even Master Cui Ren looked at Li Tai with a little panic.

Because he also really wanted to know how King Wei would complete such an almost impossible project.

Li Tai looked around the crowd and said, "Actually, it's not as complicated as you imagined.

It's just about building plank roads that last two to three years, not about building unsinkable bridges.

In terms of design, Li Chun, Wang Zhenru, Fan Yuefeng and others have worked together, and the specific architectural form has come out! "

"But even if the shape is designed, what about the materials, and the construction time, all of these take time!
With a distance of more than 100 miles, it is impossible to build it before the cold winter comes! " Master Cui Ren couldn't help saying.

"The normal way is naturally impossible, but it's not impossible to separate the steps!" Li Tai said calmly,
"I originally saved a lot of waterproof wood here in Youzhou.

Originally thought that if Datang and Goguryeo were defeated in the battle, they would be able to produce ships of the same size as they are now at least within three months.

Of course, the only people on board are student soldiers from agricultural colleges and sailors from retired fishing boats. "

When Li Shimin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that his son would be arranged according to the loss of ten to one between the Tang warship and the Goguryeo general as he had planned.

I even want to complain in my heart how much you have no confidence in the Datang Navy!

There is no way, because in Li Tai's inherent impression, the Huaxia Navy is only famous in the Song and Ming dynasties.

As for the navy of the Tang Dynasty... Was there a navy in the Tang Dynasty?
Li Tai's history is generally not very clear, so naturally he prepared according to the worst.

At least with Li Tai's hard work these years, those material reserves, let alone what to say, have prepared three batches just for staffing.

One group is serving in the army, one group is old sailors who have retired and entered the fishing program, and the other group is students who have not yet graduated from the agricultural school.

Of course, when they are actually used, they must be varied according to a certain ratio, and it will not be true that one batch will be wiped out and another batch will be topped.

But as far as the total amount is concerned, Li Tai is ready for the entire Datang navy to be wiped out three times.

At this time, Su Lie couldn't help smiling at Li Dejian beside him, obviously, Li Dejian was also a bit embarrassed at the moment.

Is he so unreliable? After all, he is also Li Jing's son!
To be honest, he really didn't know that Li Tai had so little confidence in him, but he had to say that having such a King of Wei as his support did reduce the pressure on the generals to a minimum during the expedition.

As for the other generals, at this time, they felt a bit obedient, but Li Shiji was a little stunned when he saw Li Tai, and he understood why Li Jing's attitude towards Li Tai had always been that Li Tai was a famous general.

Nonsense, relying on Li Tai's power to reorganize the three fleets, for any general, this is not a famous general, this is simply his own father!

Needless to say, if Zhao Guo can take out soldiers of the scale of the three-wave level war, he will continue to fight with Bai Qi...

Then Bai Qi is afraid that even the Four Saints will be heaped to death by this desperate logistics. After all, even famous generals have to eat!
Of course, with Bai Qi's personality, it is most likely that he will never launch the Changping War, because he only fights wars that can be won.

Anyway, the generals present at this time looked at Li Tai with kind eyes.

Looking at Xue Rengui who was not far away, I wondered if this is the treatment that King Wei received as a logistics worker... I love it!

And Li Tai continued, "We disassembled the construction steps, and the preliminary processing of materials, such as from wood to planks, from cutting to painting, was all done on the coast.

These materials are then put on board for initial assembly, and even some initial splicing can be done on board.

When it is finally delivered to the destination, the plank road frame has been built, and all that is left is assembly and final construction.

All in all, this is not only the work of the frontline corvees, but also the whole Youzhou, no!

It is the road jointly built by all the shipyards and factories in the entire Hebei Road together with the corvee workers! "

When Li Tai talked about his plan, everyone present couldn't help being dumbfounded, they never expected to come on the battlefield.

It simply refreshed their understanding of the battlefield.

Li Tai was not surprised by their surprise, after all, before the founding war of New China, no one thought that the war could be fought like this!
　It will be updated today and tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, my father will have an operation. I will go to bed early. The last chapter will be updated this Saturday. Well, that's it.
