Chapter 1103 Riverside

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

Shuolei became the same as an ordinary old man, talking and talking long-lastingly, but Babu fully understood what his father Khan meant. They worked hard for a lifetime to gain their current foundation. Now there is no way to be the only one left. In the future, the strength will become weaker and be trapped in everything. But there is no way, and they can only face reality. It is good to keep the father Khan’s title. Anyway, it’s not bad either. There is a living Buddha, a great khan, and heirs from generation to generation. Life is pretty good. Boy, just give up as your bear, don’t bother. If you are not honest, you will be the same as Dorji. Not only will you lose your life, but you will also make your father Khan work hard for nothing. Why bother...

Babu thought about it and felt a little sad, but he had already completely felt the lesson from Dorji's incident. He said sincerely: "Don't worry, Father Khan, I will definitely cooperate and remember to live a peaceful life in the future."

"It's right." Shuolei suddenly smiled, and the person seemed to have become much younger. He said, "We will live a good life in the future."

...

The sky is high and the grass is growing, and the same scenery is everywhere. After spending time on the grassland for a long time, people will inevitably feel tired.

It’s like walking in a village, from the beginning to the end of the village, the scenery is like, and then back, and back again.

The difference from the village is that the scenery in front of you seems to never end.

"Stop, take a half hour off."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This time, I was walking with the convoy of supplies. There was no problem with logistics support. There was decent hot food to eat every day, but I walked slowly and the convoy could not go too fast, otherwise the parts I carried were not enough.

A special convoy caught up and built a small repair and supply point every sixty miles. This is a lifeline. Where Hutchison passed by, after the merchant army set foot, it was like a new capillary, connecting the flesh and bones together.

At least two hundred miles ahead were hunting cavalrymen moving. Some traces of sporadic battles could be seen from where Wang Jingzhong and others passed.

The resistance is not fierce, but it cannot be said that there is no at all.

A large number of herders and armored soldiers were fleeing, all hunters and a small number of dragoons were riding in a circle, trying to trap everyone.

News that a large number of prisoners were detained should have spread in the grassland, which made the ongoing war much easier. Many herders directly chose to surrender, and they were resettled on the spot and were not detained in the shopping and sales city to be detained.

The Southern Army set up several prisoner camps, and the members of the Military Information Department would follow up, screen and interrogate the prisoners, and then start batch processing as appropriate.

The North Road and South Road must be built respectively. The task of Wang Jingzhong and other troops is to keep the convoy roads unobstructed. It is easy for the original North Road. The troops and convoys can use the Selenge River as the benchmark for forwarding. In the future, the North City will be built near Khan City and built according to the river. The river channel is the best guide for the convoy. After establishing a lot of repair and supply points, the daily consumption of the city can be maintained.

The south road is more complicated, but it is also the straight line distance from the north end to the south road, about 500 miles away, all of which are grasslands and gentle hilly areas. There are some small seazis as big as ponds on the way. After passing through the straight line, you will reach the banks of the Tula River on the south road, and follow the river about 300 miles west, which is the southern city, which is Ulya Sutai City in the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Jingzhong's team was on the North Road. They had been following the convoy back and forth these days, but there was no threat. The herdsmen were like overly frightened birds, not even cats. When cats were frightened, they would arch their backs and make hissings to warn them. If they stretched out their hands, they would face scratches. The birds were different. The frightened birds kept circling and crying in the air. They were almost exhausted, but they didn't even have the courage to try it.

The herdsmen everywhere are the same, and they are too frightened, just like the frightened birds in the sky, without even the courage to land.

There may be sporadic horse thieves, but under the intimidation of the battle of extermination, the horse thieves have long been gone. The horse thieves were originally composed of herders who fled from various tribes. They have a very sensitive sense of smell and have already run away without a trace when they encounter a powerful enemy who can't afford to offend them.

Wang Jingzhong and his subordinates just walked every day, sometimes leading horses and sometimes pushing carts, but they always have to walk more often.

As people walk too much, they will naturally feel bored. For no other reason, they are purely natural physiological reactions.

"Rest for half an hour." Wang Jingzhong smiled and said to the team's subordinates: "There must be more broken cars this time."

The rest time is indeed longer than expected, and there should be several cars that need time to repair.

The soldiers all laughed, and Wang Jingzhong said: "First take care of your horse, then line up to get food. If you are too energetic after eating early, you can go to the river to wash it."

It is midsummer now, and everyone is sweating profusely when walking under the sun. When Wang Jingzhong walks, he often stares at the back of a guy in front of him, and it quickly gets wet. The materials for military robes in summer are very thin. In this era, no army will issue military uniforms several times a year. Spring clothes, summer clothes, winter clothes, training clothes, and military uniforms of various purposes. The most common one is of course training clothes. There is no way to produce truly wear-resistant robes in this era. A training suit will be ragged at most if it lasts for less than a month. Five or six pieces a year is the minimum base.

Zhang Han has already considered designing military dresses, but he still feels too advanced.

You should know that the soldiers of the border army or guard station of the Ming Dynasty were still wearing the mandarin duck war jacket left by his grandfather thirty years ago. The hats they wore may have been fifty years, and the helmets may have been a hundred years old. The thin iron chopsticks must be pierced through. If it is too extravagant, the people of the Military and Political Department were worried that the soldiers would feel guilty. This is not a joke. The entire company once discovered a large number of refugees from northern Shaanxi. Later, the young men felt serious when they were having a meal. On one side were big fish and meat, on the other side were hungry, hungry and hungry children, and finally the entire company gave all the grain reserves to the refugees. Later, they had to train half-starved for two days, and directly sent the grain supplies to the Military Control Commission.

Wang Jingzhong received a braised duck leg, two cooked duck eggs, paired with some green vegetables and very soft steamed buns... The steamed buns were steamed with white flour and millet, soft, glutinous and sweet, and very much for the appetite of northern soldiers.

Everyone was squatting by the river, looking at the river water that was swaying, and eating the freshly cooked food of the soldiers.

"There are all ducks lately." A soldier laughed and said, "It was all placed in the Nanyang River last year. I have seen it. It is so fat."

"That was the duck released by the old shopkeeper Yusheng and his men, so Lord Zhang was very happy about it."

"It would be great if I could eat chicken. I heard that duck meat should not be eaten too much."

"Don't let your mother go, she's cold. Before joining the army, you even ate duck shit."

"Are you looking for a beating?"

The threat of swaying teeth and claws was ineffective, and a group of soldiers burst into laughter, and some people said they wanted to throw the guy who thought the duck was cold into the river.

Indeed, it was really too much for people who were still hungry not long ago, and they said such things while eating such marching rations and pursuing such things. They deserved to be taught a decent lesson.

"Okay, okay, everyone, let him go." Wang Jingzhong also laughed with everyone. With these little guys in his twenties, his mood became extremely relaxed.

In the army, they are usually sergeant commanders over thirty, and they should be much more steady. They either pass the officer exam for many years in the army and become the cornerstone of the merchant army and a low-level lower-level officer.

Wang Jingzhong, who is in his early forties, either transfers to the baggage officer, or works in the Tunbao, or becomes a senior officer like him.

Among the war soldiers, there are very few officers over forty, and soldiers are usually in their twenties, or even seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Old shopkeeper Zhou and his friends have already arrived in Mobei." Wang Jingzhong told these young people who were not very well-informed. He smiled and said, "You must know that there is a big lake. It is not Hanhai, but there is also a big lake as big as the Luwei in Tiancheng Weijia Town. There are many things you can do there. I guess you will have to eat more ducks in the future."

Wang Jingzhong thought again and said, "How many people do you know about the military department who directly distributes meals every day?"

He continued: "There are more than 200,000 people on the grassland, including more than 200,000 people, including baggage soldiers, combat soldiers, military personnel, teachers and students of the school, and civilians working everywhere. The trunks can be self-sufficient, but we have to provide food for those who work in Hutchison. We have to do a good job and fast job, so we can't cut off meat and fish in the meal. There are tens of thousands of people in Lizhuang's workshop, relevant military personnel, and Lingqiu's iron mine, and there are tens of thousands of people there. Hundreds of thousands of people have to eat a day, and one or two meats a day.

The amount is tens of thousands of kilograms of meat, and our standard is that the soldiers have to eat at least two taels a day, one tael of five workers, and one tael of liang of civilians, and one tael of thousands of sheep, hundreds of pigs and thousands of ducks and chickens a day, and we have to worry about the needs of the people in the Xuanfu area of ​​Datong. We have money. If we buy all the meat from these places, where will we buy it? We didn’t worry about this a few years ago, but the people were very dissatisfied. You guys, just eat ducks honestly, aren’t tired of eating mutton yet?”

A dragon cavalry laughed and said, "Old team officer, after you do this, we are really a big family and a big business."

"It's not counting in Taiwan yet." Wang Jingzhong himself was a little proud and proud. He said, "You came in late. As soon as you came in, you were wearing several military uniforms. The armor and weapons were all good. We followed the adults, that is, we used some weapons in the blacksmith shop, and we still had to fight with those pole bandits. One day we won't fight blood? Which of the people in the mule and horse shop or the cart shop are good people. If you don't get bleeding or die, you will easily take the territory of the cart shop? Then you will have to bandage the wound every night. My leader of the Lao Wang team, Li Laibin, Wang Yikui, Li Congye, Duoer and others are all the leaders of our Yushengjiao shop. We are from border soldiers and are good at it..."
