In the Northern Song Dynasty, before the soldiers and horses moved grain and grass first, how to distribute strategic materials?

Of course, there is a special system for the transportation of strategic materials. Whether in ancient or modern times, the distribution of war materials is very important. How can we fight without supplies? Just like World War II, if the German materials fail to keep up, the result of the battle of Stalingrad may be another matter.

Weapons In the Northern Song Dynasty, weapons were very important. Usually, people are not allowed to hide weapons at home, otherwise they will be directly convicted. There was also a special armory in the Northern Song Dynasty to manage and forge weapons, which should be related to Zhao Kuangyin, who was also a military commander. Before a major war, every general must apply for weapons by himself, and then report to each other. After all, the crossbow is a weapon of mass destruction. At that time, the main enemies of the northern song dynasty were those countries in the north, that is, the conference semifinals The most famous of the Hu people is their cavalry, so it is necessary to deal with the crossbow of the Hu people. Frontline wars are all deployed by the central government.

Grain and grass are the lifeblood of an army, which was definitely understood in the Northern Song Dynasty. Because at that time, the battlefields in the Northern Song Dynasty were all in the north, and the grain and grass were all from the mainland and escorted all the way to the northern battlefield. Therefore, in this case, there was a transshipment ambassador in the Northern Song Dynasty, who was responsible for the transshipment of grain and grass. This official position is usually set up in times of war. It is not high, but it is very useful and important. After all, many court ministers have something to do and can't be distracted from taking care of food and grass. During the transportation of grain and grass, it was heavily protected, just like what everyone saw in TV dramas.

Animal-drawn warfare is as important as manpower. After all, many things have to be transported by livestock, such as horses and cows. For horses, the Northern Song government encouraged people to raise more horses, and people were willing to pay for them. Horses can be transported and used as war horses. As for cows, they are rarely used. They are usually used to carry things at the front.
