Guan Yu left in a hurry. After all, he had to lead the team forward.

Li Mengxi looked at Guan Yu's leaving figure and was surprised for a long time.

(It turns out, do you ancients also understand psychology?) It’s so simple, why is Guan Yu, an ancient person, so good at psychology?

Did you learn it from ancient military books? Ancient military books, who has used this method? Who?

Jiang Ziya? Sun Wu? Han Xin? Huo Qubing?

Li Mengxi admired Guan Yu's resourcefulness.

Li Mengxi had thought of the great use of roosters a few days ago, but what Li Mengxi thought of was that roosters could crow, tell time, and remind people of time. In ancient times when there were no clocks, with the rooster as a clock, the army could have a much more regular schedule.

If there were no roosters, there would be no fixed date for when to cook in the morning or when to break camp. Sometimes it would be too early, sometimes too late.

If you are late, you will waste time; if you are early, you will waste your rest.

The importance of the rooster is that with an accurate and precise time reference, the time for cooking in the morning can be set at just the right time. The cooks get up and prepare the meal, and the soldiers put away their tents after the meal, and it is just dawn.

In this way, you won't delay the time, and you won't start eating too early. Basically, you can condense your time into two quarters every day. That is, half an hour.

Half an hour is not much, but half an hour more available time every day. Compacting this half hour means that if you use it for marching, you can cover an additional three to five miles a day, which is three to fifty miles in ten days.

On average, every ten days, there is an extra day of marching.

The marching efficiency will be improved by about 10% because of a rooster that can crow, which is very impressive.

Li Mengxi thought of the important role of the rooster here, but he did not expect that the rooster could be of greater use in stabilizing morale.

If you think about it carefully, the rooster can not only stabilize the morale of the army when the food and grass are exhausted, but now it can also improve the morale of the civilians.

There are so many Yellow Turban refugees in the army, and the predecessors of the Yellow Turban refugees were mostly poor people.

There were even several times when a farmer dug up a few handfuls of pigweed and came over to help Li Mengxi feed the piglets.

Li Mengxi did not give the order, and the peasants also knew clearly that the piglets would not have enough meat to grow up, but even so, the peasants worked tirelessly to find pig grass without asking for anything in return, just to feed the pigs.

It's like there are pigs raised in the army, just like at home.

Similarly, the crowing of the rooster will make the peasants feel more like they are at home rather than on the march.

The crowing rooster is a mascot that can boost morale for today's rebels.

Break up camp and march.

Li Mengxi was writing furiously in the carriage.

At the beginning of this day, I learned a lot of important knowledge.

"As Yu Qi knows, Yu Qi has not used up all his spare time.

When we set up camp in the evening, all the troops were at a standstill. However, in the evening when we set up camp, there was still half an hour before dark.

Half an hour, although a little tight, is enough for the caravan to make a round trip to buy things.

Therefore, when the various tribes are encamping, they stop, but the traveling caravans do not need to follow this system. The traveling caravans do not end when they set up camp, but when night falls."

"Fishing team.

The fishing team actually took off their clothes and entered the water to collect the fish. Because there were not enough osprey boats, they could not wade deep into the water.

It can be thought of that there is always a time when the pit is too small and the water is not narrow enough to cast a net. At this time, launching a trawl net and trapping fish in a seine net is a better way to catch fish.

Therefore, even if the length of the osprey boat is sufficient, there will always be a hole in which the small boat cannot fit, making it difficult to cast the net, and when it is necessary to launch into the water.

If it is spring and summer, there is no problem in entering the water, but if it is winter and autumn, it is not appropriate to net three or two fish, because the water is cold and the weather is cold, and several people will get sick.

Therefore, military regulations should be enforced. From late spring to late summer, fishing teams can go into the water to net fish. Outside of this season, they can only step on boats and wade in the water, and are not allowed to wade in the water with their bodies."

Thinking again, when Guan Yu sent the fish back, the fish intestines and swim bladders were mixed in the baskets filled with fish offal, but they were not separated intentionally.

Although the swim bladder can be regarded as fish offal, it is fishy, ​​has no meat, and is not very tasty.

However, compared with other fish offal such as gills and intestines, fish bladder has other uses.

The swim bladder can be used to boil isinglass, which can of course be used to make bows and arrows, and can also be used to glue the gaps in ships.

Therefore, it is best to collect the fish bladders when killing fish.

The military is now able to build boats, but the fishing boats built by a group of carpenters who cannot build boats are very rough and their durability is a problem.

Today's Osprey boats have neither hemp filling nor tung oil brushing on the wooden seams at the bottom of the boat. They just use isinglass to seal the wood seams.

Only isinglass can block water. But after two days of soaking in water, the glue will open.

I simply used a very simple and crude method. Anyway, there is a lot of isinglass. The osprey boat is glued for a while every day. It does not matter how durable it is. As long as the replacement speed is faster than the wear rate of the durability, it is equivalent to no durability.

Already.

In view of this, although an osprey boat does not require much isinglass, it is better to make more isinglass if you can.

At present, isinglass is only used for repairing ships. If in the future, it is necessary to use isinglass to stick arrows, at this time, you must have the habit of collecting as much isinglass as possible.

Therefore, if we formulate the system earlier and cultivate relevant habits, we will not find out that when we urgently need a large amount of isinglass, we forgot to separate the swim bladder and gills when killing the fish, which has delayed a lot of things.

"When killing fish, the swim bladders should be picked out and stored separately for making glue."

Li Mengxi only wrote this sentence, and Li Mengxi continued writing.

Now we have arrived at the more important areas, such as scouting, intelligence, coordination among various ministries, etc.

"The use of information has not been exhausted.

Dozens of scouts spread out to serve as the vanguard of the army. One scout can find the way and guide the army; the other scout can explore and search for the enemy's situation; the third scout can find water sources and suitable camping places along the way and guide the army to camp; the fourth scout can

You can find lakes and rivers with fish along the way, you can lead fishing teams to fish, you can find villages along the way, and you can provide supply points for the army.

Of these four, the first three are suitable for guiding, finding enemies, and finding a convenient place to set up camp.

Fourth, the scout encountered a fish place on the way and negotiated with the fishing team. When he encountered a village, he had no negotiation with the caravan.

In order to make full use of the intelligence capabilities of the scouts and to improve the purchasing efficiency of the roving caravans, the scouts should be able to combine with the roving caravans.

How to join forces? How to charter?

We will discuss it in detail when Zhang Fei comes back."

In addition, the problem of catching fish and how to handle the fish is also a problem.

“With the concerted efforts of various departments, there are more and more fishing nets, new osprey boats are launched every day, and the fishing camp’s fishing capacity is improving day by day.

So far, there are sometimes so many fish that there is nowhere to consume them. As I thought before, the fish can be divided among the people in the camp until they need to be taken care of.

There is no system in the civilian camp. If there is a system, it will depend on the ability of the forty new soldiers to train.

Now, the new recruits have been training for more than half a month. Liu Xuande was mostly entrusted with the training, but he has not been involved in it in depth. You can see what happens when you choose the opportunity.

If the new recruits are ready, one thousand, six hundred more can be trained in one month, and sixty-four thousand can be trained in two months.

The entire army will be under control within two months at the latest."

Thinking of military training, it can be said that it is the most important thing in the army now, and the training of the forty new recruits is one of the most important.

These forty recruits are related to whether the army can have a large number of training instructors and low-level officers within two months. It is also related to whether the thousands of scattered and undisciplined civilians in the army can be organized immediately within two months.

The ability to fight in formation.

These forty people are related to the most important matter of whether the army can have thousands more soldiers in two months.
