I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 254 Using Camels to Transport Supplies

Yes, sending troops to Dawan, for the current Great Qin Empire, the most important thing is not a military issue, but a transportation issue.

If the logistics problem is not solved.

Then, even if it is Daqin, no matter how powerful it is.

Even if it is the Great Qin army, no matter how many there are.

Even the current Great Qin.

How good is the military equipment.

But all of these are floating clouds.

After all, no matter how powerful Daqin is now, it is impossible to defeat the enemy hundreds of miles away.

At this moment, after hearing Li Si's voice, Ying Changsheng in the hall laughed a few times, and then opened his mouth to Prime Minister Li Si.

"This problem, in my opinion, is not a problem at all!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's words, all the people in the hall showed surprise expressions for a while, and then looked at Ying Changsheng in puzzlement.

Heart Road.

Is there a solution to this problem, Mr. Nineteen?

At this time, looking at the surprised face and looking at his officials, Ying Changsheng opened his mouth and explained to them.

"With the strength of my Great Qin, it is indeed difficult to transport materials, but this difficulty is not, it cannot be solved!"

"Besides, Dawan is not a powerful country. Father, why do you want to send an army of [-]? In my opinion, an army of [-] is more than enough!"

"But……"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's words, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning, and then said to him.

"1 horses? Is it really enough?"

"enough?"

Ying Changsheng nodded heavily.

"Simply more than enough!"

"However, the logistics of 1 horses are not easy to solve!"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's words, Prime Minister Li Si spread his hands again, and then continued.

Yes, the logistical problem of 1 people is still a big problem.

For the current Daqin.

It was really difficult to solve, but after hearing this, Ying Changsheng laughed.

"It's only 1 people, and it can still be solved. For this matter, I have a solution!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's words, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then hurriedly asked.

"How to solve it?"

"Father, although Dawan is far away from our Great Qin, at any rate, there are still land routes available, and during this period, although there are no prefectures and counties in our Great Qin, none of the more than thirty countries in the Western Regions has not surrendered to our Great Qin's feet. of?"

"As long as my Great Qin sends troops to Dawan, then all the small countries in the Western Regions along the way can provide supplies for our army!"

"It is!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, but then frowned again.

"It's just that these small countries in the Western Regions are small and the people are weak. What strength do they have to provide food, grass and supplies for our [-] expeditionary army of the Great Qin?"

This is true.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions are all small countries. Now, asking them to provide food and grass for the troops of the Great Qin's Western Expedition is simply forcing them to die.

"Father, what my son said is just an idea. If the 36 countries in the Western Regions try their best to provide our Daqin with food and grass, then our Daqin will be able to save some food and grass, and transport less food to the country. Western Regions, do you think so?"

"That makes sense!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded.

There are 36 countries in the Western Regions, no matter how weak the national power is.

They can also provide some supplies, and as long as they provide them, even if they only provide food for a few thousand people, it will be enough to reduce the burden on Da Qin. After thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded heavily, and turned to the people in front of him. Ying Changsheng said.

"Although this is a solution, where will the remaining food and grass gap come from?"

"Moreover, if our army of Great Qin attacks the city of Dawan, it will need a large amount of food when attacking the city. How will it be obtained?"

"It's easy!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile.

"If you want to transport grain and grass, just find a way to transport it!"

"Young Master Nineteen said it simply, but the problem now is, what does Daqin use to transport grain and grass?"

"This Western Region, this Dawan, is no better than other places. There are scarce water sources along the way, and there are deserts. No matter how powerful our Qin army is, we have no choice but to transport food and grass..."

Prime Minister Li Si couldn't help shaking his head, and said to Ying Changsheng.

Ying Changsheng smiled.

"My son has already thought about it, this matter, speaking of it, is quite easy to solve, the solution!"

After all, the officials in the hall of Ying Changsheng Dynasty, as well as the civil and military officials, opened their mouths and asked.

"Do you know about a creature called a camel?"

"camel?"

The moment I heard the name.

Brother Zheng.

And the officials present.

All the civil and military officials were stunned.

Obviously, everyone didn't know what a camel was. Seeing this situation, Ying Changsheng explained it directly to them.

"This camel, speaking of it, is a very popular livestock in the Western Regions. It can be said that it is suitable for our Daqin army to transport supplies..."

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then asked Ying Changsheng.

"This camel has a huge load, it can carry more than a hundred catties on the march, and not only that, it can endure hardships and stand hard work, and can survive in the desert for a long time, even if it does not drink water for more than ten days. For a camel, It's not a problem either!"

"Really?"

The moment I heard this.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

In Ying Zheng's view, humans are the same as animals.

Basically, without food, you can live for seven or eight days, without drinking water, you can live for three to five days.

If they don't drink water, the livestock can survive for more than ten days.

In Brother Zheng's view, this is simply a fetish.

But Ying Changsheng said confidently.

"Father, it is indeed so!"

"Livestock, camels are the most drought-tolerant. People who are drought-resistant to the desert all know about this animal, and then use it wantonly for transportation. My merchants from Daqin to the Western Regions, after arriving there, also Will buy camels to transport goods!"

"So it is!"

Brother Zheng suddenly understood and realized that it was through these businessmen that Ying Changsheng came into contact with camels.

I only heard Ying Zhengchao Ying Changsheng ask.

"You mean, by camels to transport food?"

"Not bad!"

Ying Changsheng nodded heavily.

"Instead of using civilian husbands, if you really don't need it, use camels!"

"Each camel can carry more than one hundred catties of grain, and what's more, it only needs some fodder to eat!"

"Cacti in the desert can also be used as food!"

"So, all our army needs is to give each soldier a camel, and each camel can carry a hundred kilograms of grain!"

"That's fine, go to the Western Regions!"

"Going to Dawan..."

"That's easy to say, how can one hundred catties of grain be enough?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's words, Prime Minister Li Si shook his head again and again, and the ministers in the hall were also shaking their heads.
