May 23rd, sunny..././

After May, there is no biting cold wind in the Hokkien Island. Even when you walk south, you can feel a little warm spring breeze.

I rode on the horse and moved forward in the spring breeze. Although I was a little tired, I still couldn't hide my excitement.

Because I can already see the walls of Sapporo City in the distance.

Of course I didn't come alone. Behind me, there were nine friends, three hundred cavalry, five hundred infantry and five hundred farmers driving donkeys and mules, and five hundred big bamboo vans that were driven into it, which contained my secret weapons.

Can't guess what I'm here for?

OK OK OK I'll tell you, Mr. Bao, I'm from Sapporo City to do business.

I didn’t know what war was about. Now after several experiences, I clearly know that in addition to fighting for people, I also have to work hard to support logistics. Whoever has more food and rewards will get more opportunities.

When an army that is not full and a army that is full and drinks fights, there is a clear difference in morale and combat effectiveness.

There is a clear difference between a military that is too poor to even have armor and an army that is waving Jin Xiaojue to show rewards to fight, morale and combat effectiveness.

Since it is in the north, the Hokkien Island is not rich. Even the lords of the three cities like Wuqi Youpeng cannot say that the people under his control can eat enough. Needless to say, the rice and wheat are definitely what military rations and nobles eat. Ordinary people can only take a few glances when planting.

Most of the time, the people rely on the navy in Otaru Castle to collect tolls, and fish, shrimps and crabs they catch to get food, but they can't eat them every day.

There is no reason. Otaru, Sapporo and Chitose Castle have about 70,000 people in the city, and 30,000 people outside the city. In this way, the total population is about 100,000, and 100,000 people consume 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms of fish and meat a day is casual, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to fish. But in this way, the navy will still collect tolls and make money for His Highness Takesaki?

Even if some people are willing to fish on their own, their ships are too small and of poor quality, so they can only fish a few miles offshore. Moreover, when encountering a storm, the boat will be destroyed and people will die, so even the fishermen cannot guarantee food and clothing. Not to mention how much fish and meat the inland people can get.

Having said that, I just want to make it clear that although Otaru, Sapporo and Chitose are not very poor, they are absolutely not rich. In addition to those powerful people who can eat enough, the soldiers can only support their families at most. Not to mention that ordinary people can work hard and not starve to death after the family is their greatest happiness.

This is what it is on weekdays. During the battle, the food consumed by the army of the three major cities can make the arrogant and domineering Tomoe Takezaki couldn't help but cry every night.

On weekdays, ordinary soldiers receive only enough salary to buy three kilograms of food, and their wives do some farm work. The family has no worries about food and drink, but it is not a good fortune.

But when it comes to war, no one in the army eats and drinks from top to bottom. Each person doesn’t eat three or five kilograms of food every day and gets some rewards. He will not work hard during the battle.

This has become the norm for the Three Islands of Japan next to it. It is still a bit harsh on weekdays and the soldiers can tolerate it, but if I want me to fight for my life, I'm sorry, there is no right reward, who is willing to fight for you?

The money is a little easier. Next to Sapporo Castle, there is a small gold mine. Although it is not big, it is still very sufficient. It will not be too distressing to give the soldiers a reward of a gold judge in three to five days.

The problem lies in the food.

The grain consumed by the three major cities on weekdays is just as an astronomical figure, and the annual births in the past two years are not good, and the harvest is very average. The reserves of the three major cities are not much, especially Qiansui City has been emptied by the bandits in Sanguo Village, and Wuqiu Youpeng only has two cities left to use reserves of grain.

Otaru and Sapporo are richer than Chitose Castle, but the staple food is only one million kilograms of rice and eight hundred thousand kilograms of wheat.

The soldiers and gangsters usually have low demands. When fighting, they have to eat four meals a day, and after the war, they have to eat one extra meal. They don’t eat any other miscellaneous grains except steamed buns and rice dumplings, and they also have to have meat from time to time... After such a day, the army of 10,000 and 3,000 civilians had to eat 60,000 kilograms of rice and wheat. The two logistics officials were so angry that they were crying and yelling that they had to have a caesarean section.

In fact, the war between the two armies began from April 28th to May 13th. In just fifteen days, nine hundred thousand kilograms of grain, two hundred thousand kilograms of fish, one hundred thousand kilograms of pigs, sheep, and poultry meat were consumed, and half of Wuqi Youpeng's family was consumed.

Seeing that the battle was in full swing and there was no sign of a stop, Yupeng Wuqi didn't care about so much. In addition to moving all the inventory to the front line, he also tried his best to plunder the food in the hands of the people. At first, it was stored food, but it turned into food. Although they gave some money to compensate, there was no food everywhere. What's the use of taking money? Can it be eaten as food?

Because we were worried that Tomoto Takezaki came over, our spies never stopped, and many of them had even been involved in Otaru Castle and Sapporo Castle.

After hearing this news from the spy, I immediately noticed: Our chance to get rich has come!

I discussed with my three fathers and they disagree with my bold idea, but they also agreed with what I said that there would be no danger in this trip. After thinking about it, I gave my power to let me fiddle with it myself. There is also a prerequisite, that is, I have to bring enough protection to travel.

I took out all four million kilograms of tuna, green fish reserves, plus one million kilograms of ice from the cave at Liuyin Harbour Port in one breath and put them in a tightly wrapped bamboo carriage to store. The low temperature of the carriage and the cool weather outside are enough to ensure that it will not deteriorate for ten days and half a month.

Then I dragged five hundred big bamboo vans and rushed towards Sapporo City.

As it turned out, my decision was right. Although I was afraid that the war would end early, my worries were unnecessary. Until the news from the spies last night, the Hatan army and the Takesaki army were still fighting fiercely. The day before yesterday, a counterattack battle between the Takesaki army broke out, and he ate a general of the Hatan army and his 800 army in one breath.

It's good that it's not over!

It’s easier for me to make money before it’s over!

Ten days have passed since May 13th. Although the consumption of these ten days has gradually decreased with the competition for the number of casualties, the accumulation of every day is still a headache that can save Youpeng Takezaki and eat. Otherwise, he might be completely defeated tomorrow because he cannot let the soldiers have enough food.

It is said that the Hatan Army is better. They can buy food from the Song Dynasty, and they can also buy food from Kyushu and other places. They are more prepared, so they can hold on much more than the Takesaki Army.
