On June 22, the 17th year of the Apocalypse, the day of the decisive battle between the Xia Kingdom and the coalition forces of the leaders!

At the same time, in the other side of Xia Kingdom Tianqi City, Yang Song also saw the dynamics of the land army to which Li Jing belonged from the small map of the system.

Yang Song saw all land troops out of the camp from a small map. Although he couldn't hear the sound, how could he guess with such a big move that this was a conscript to fight?

Just as Yang Song was closely following the news of the land army of Xia State, Chen Ping, the government office of the Intelligence Department, was already wearing court uniforms and preparing to go out.

"Can there be a war report coming today?" Chen Ping picked up the information he had sorted out last night from his desk and asked at his subordinates who were following him.

"Return to Director, the two armies have not sent back the war report today." His subordinates followed Chen Ping, holding a folder in his hand, but he still remembered such a problem without checking it.

When Chen Ping heard this, he did not stop his hand. He picked up the information and turned around and walked out the door. While walking, he ordered his subordinates: "Okay, now I will go to see the king, especially those on land. If the latest information is transmitted back, I will send it to the palace immediately and do not neglect it!"

"Yes, Director, if any information in front is transmitted, I will send it to the palace immediately." My subordinate bowed to Chen Ping's back who was walking out of the gate, and at the same time responded loudly to Chen Ping's order.

On the other hand, Xun Yu, the government office of the Administration, was wearing court uniforms, and also picked up several memorials on the case. Without saying a word, he walked out of the administration gate, got on a carriage and headed towards the palace.

At this moment, in the weather city, as long as the qualified and closely related government offices, the chief officials basically rushed to the palace one after another. Although it was not the summoned king Yang Song, how could the important officials at this time be out of the matter?

After Yang Song learned that the ministers were coming one after another, he asked someone to inform the ministers to gather in the Political Affairs Hall to discuss important matters together. He had guessed the intentions of the ministers.

"See the King!" Yang Song walked out from behind the wall and saw that there were only a few bustling people in the Political Affairs Hall, and walked straight to his exclusive seat.

"Please calm down." Yang Song raised his hand and gently raised his hand to signal the important ministers to avoid the ceremony, and went straight to the point: "The hundreds of thousands of troops on land ahead will face the hostilities today. This matter is very important, so don't be too polite, start reporting!"

"Report to the king!" Chen Ping took the lead and bowed to Yang Song, reporting: "According to the front, General Li Jing and Liu Ji's military advisor had decided to fight today..."

Chen Ping first briefly reported the dynamics of his army, and then talked about the enemy's intelligence: "The enemy has more than 300,000 troops, and two knight commanders led the enemy's army inside and outside the city, and more than 200,000 troops outside the city, and 100,000 troops inside the city. However, as far as the information obtained by me is concerned, neither of these two knight commanders has ever had any experience in commanding an army of this size, and as the two of them have known in previous battles, both of them have no excellence."

Chen Ping did not say any inferences. He was only responsible for reporting the information he obtained truthfully. It was not the responsibility of him, an intelligence officer, to make a decision.

Next, Xun Yu walked out of the queue, took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Yang Song, which wrote some information that would be reported only in the middle of the year, such as the geometry of land reclamation, the addition of people, the addition of villages and towns, the construction of factories, the output of steel, etc.

Xun Yu estimated that Yang Song had seen it almost the same, and he reported: "King, I don't know about the war, but my country's harvest is quite good in the first half of this year. Whether it is food or various commodities, please rest assured!"

Xun Yu was responsible for national administration. He didn't need to know about military affairs, but he knew to give Yang Song a stable rear, a Xia Kingdom full of materials and a strong national strength.

After Xun Yu made a simple and practical report, Zhang Juzheng, the director of the Finance and Taxation Department, also handed over a memorial.

"Your Majesty, the country has received taxes of 120 million taels of summer coins in the first half of the year, with a total expenditure of 110 million taels of summer coins, leaving 8.3 million taels of summer coins, and the national treasury has 13 million taels of summer coins."

The Xia Kingdom’s finance and taxation basically uses as much as it collects. Many of them are just to build new factories and add new commercial markets. After all, there is not much money income in agriculture, and agriculture is the largest industry in Xia Kingdom and the foundation of a country!

Although to outsiders, the income of 50 million gold coins in half a year is simply an unimaginable astronomical figure, for Xia Kingdom, this figure is only a small part of its national strength.

The migration and resettlement of new population, village construction, roads, bridges and other infrastructure investment, the opening of various factories and the encouragement of private factories, education investment... there are many places that spend money, even more!

It was already a great contribution to the Director Zhang Juzheng, the "purse bag", to have a little left. Therefore, no one could say anything about it. Even Yang Song often lamented that he had Director Zhang.

Finally, there are reports from various departments of the Military Department, among which Yang Ren, the Back Security Department, who is responsible for military logistics support, is a bit surprising.

"Report to the king, during this expedition, the logistics support was recruited by 100,000 militias and 100,000 young and strong foreigners, which can ensure that the soldiers in the front have no worries."

Just as Yang Song thought Yang Ren was exhausted and finished reporting, he was about to express his words of comfort, but unexpectedly, Yang Ren also handed him a memorial.

Yang Song opened it curiously and started reading it. After reading it, he found that Yang Ren actually gave suggestions on the current logistics system. Since there were suggestions, of course he discovered the shortcomings of the existing system.

Only Yang Renhui's report: "King, when the soldiers of our country were not renovated and expanded, some of the permanent militias were enough to ensure the normal loss and supply of the army. However, according to the feedback from the front line, the militias were not enough to meet the needs of combat soldiers during the war."

The memorial that Yang Song saw only wrote the suggestion results, but there was no detailed reason. So he heard a puzzled question: "Is 100,000 militia not enough to guarantee the logistics of the combat soldiers? What's going on?"

Yang Ren bowed and replied: "Returning to the king, the logistics support is very complicated, including building bridges and opening roads, material transportation, camp construction, food and medical care, and military repairs."

Speaking of this, Yang Ren paused for a moment, and after seeing Yang Song knowing, he continued to reply: "If you build bridges, roads, camps, and transport materials, the militia will be competent, but if you encounter damage to the weapons and many wounded soldiers, it is no longer the militia can bear the full responsibility."

So that's it. Yang Song nodded in secret. It turned out that this training was the result of the training.

Isn't it a wonder that Yang Ren proposed to form a special logistics support army for professional logistics support, which is no longer a militia that relies entirely on the strength of the past.

Yang Song knew this situation, because the higher the technical content of the army, the more professional personnel they needed, such as military doctors, soldiers who can use gunpowder and other professional tools, and even those who take care of military and horses, they all need professional personnel.

In the past, the number of troops in Xia State had not increased, and there were always enough people to deal with these matters from the people - this was also one of the tasks of the Later Security Department.

After this expansion, the scale has increased. Even before the expedition, because of the advantages of this field in Xia Guoben, these are problems, but not big problems.

But it was different after going to the war. There were not so many people abroad to drive them. Only a few professionals could do the work of a few people alone, which magnified this problem at once.

"Therefore, I suggest to form a professional logistics support army, which is specifically used in various professional fields. If possible, there will be no need to recruit militias for logistics support in the future." Speaking of this, Yang Ren was finished what he wanted to say.
