Chapter 66 Innovation
In the early morning, there was rain in Feng'an City, sweeping away the scorching heat that had accumulated for more than ten days. The cool morning breeze blew into the house from the window frame, lifting the tent like a pair of gentle little hands. The little fish was still asleep and the round and plump ketone body wrapped in the nightgown that was as thin as a cicada's wing, emitting waves of temptation. This caused Yang Hao's throbbing again. He didn't dare to stay for too long. He quickly slid off the bed, picked up the two guns at the head of the bed and came to the back garden.
No matter how busy or tired he is, Yang Hao has to practice several swords and guns every morning, which has become an indispensable part of his life. In the past two years, Yang Hao has often asked the martial arts school and several masters in the army for advice, and his marksmanship has improved a lot. The reason for this is "sayed" is that martial arts has not been tested in actual combat, and it is really difficult to easily judge the pros and cons.
As the official became bigger, he had fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the front line to fight the enemy. The last time he went to the battlefield to fight the enemy was in Datongchuan. However, that time could only be called killing. There were many opponents, but his martial arts were very weak and could not be used as a basis for testing his martial arts skills. After practicing martial arts, he could not figure out his cultivation level, which made Yang Hao feel distressed. What also made him feel distressed was that although the Xining Army had achieved impressive results in a series of wars, he still could not judge how strong the army was.
In the past two years, I have indeed fought with many powerful enemies, and have basically achieved good results. But looking at the whole thing, I always feel that those who have won are a bit lucky. My ultimate enemy is the Uighurs, who have 300,000 Tianlang Army, and fighting against them is not a little lucky.
Whenever Yang Hao thought that he would eventually compete with the powerful Uighurs, he felt inexplicably panic.
Facing the 300,000 Tianlang Army, passive defense is definitely not a good idea. Attack, only active attack is the only chance to win. But attack is not easy, heavy and inefficient logistics is always a fatal weakness.
Yang Hao was sweating all over. He stripped his shirt naked, inserted his gun by the pond, scooped water to wash his face, and then sat by the pond and gasped, staring at the ripples that raindrops fell in the pond water.
"The plan for the year lies in spring, and the plan for the day lies in morning. You can't be so lazy in the early morning." Lu Rui gently shook the folding fan and walked over with his maid Xiaochen. She was wearing a lilac floral pleated skirt, which looked graceful and graceful, with a unique charm in the morning light and drizzle. Xiaochen tactfully avoided it.
Yang Hao waved to her, patted the lawn beside her, and signaled her to sit over. After the new rain, the lawn was a little wet. Lu Rui smiled slightly and refused to walk over. She shook the fan and walked around Yang Hao. Suddenly stopped behind him, and asked in surprise: "Why is there a scar on your back? When did you get injured?"
Yang Hao sarcastically said, "It's a good thing I love you so much. I've been hurt for more than half a year, but you don't know." Lu Rui asked in surprise, "Is that right? Oh, it's my fault. I haven't seen it when I've been with you twice. It's really time to hit me." Yang Hao burst out laughing and pulled Lu Rui's skirt and said, "Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, let me tell you what's good about you. All your intelligence is used to play with me. I blame me for neglecting you, so just say it, it's my fault anyway."
Lu Rui said: "How dare I complain about you? I can see you twice in half a year. Isn't it much better than some people who can't meet once a year?"
Yang Hao said: "I'm talking nonsense, there's no one who can't meet once a year. Do you think, who is this?"
Lu Rui curled his lips and said, "Then I dare not say it." He paused for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't that the Cai Lan family like this? Wang Qun hasn't returned to Feng'an for almost ten months, right?"
Yang Hao was shocked and then sneered, "What benefits did Cai Lan give you? Do you want to speak for her?" Lu Rui's heart was so furious that he didn't dare to speak. These words were indeed what Cai Lan asked him to say. At first, Lu Rui was unwilling to help. She still knew Yang Hao's temper. It was useless to say this. If you might as well, you would be disappointed. But he couldn't help but run home again and again, and then he reluctantly agreed.
Yang Hao snorted coldly and stood up and said, "I told you not to interfere in political affairs. You always don't listen. If she can't stand the pain of lovesickness, she might as well advise Wang Qun to resign. I will release him."
Lu Rui smiled apologized and said, "You are too careless again, I'm just talking casually. There is no other intention." Looking at Lu Rui's panic, Yang Hao's heart softened: "It's really just talking casually?" Lu Rui nodded quickly, and Yang Hao warned softly: "I won't be like this next time." Lu Rui nodded obediently.
Xiaochen did not walk away. She stood in the pavilion to hide from the rain. Lu Rui had in advance instructed her that if Yang Haohuo appeared to curse people, she would let her make a fuss. Xiaochen saw that Yang Hao suddenly stood up, as if he was very unhappy, so he hurriedly ran over with an umbrella and said, "It's raining heavily, madam, please be careful."
After being scolded by Yang Hao, Lu Rui was whispering sweetly to him. When Xiaochen was hit like this, he was immediately annoyed and stomped his feet and scolded: "Who asked you to come here? I'm in the rain and I'll care."
Yang Hao laughed loudly and said to Xiaochen, who was full of innocent faces: "Don't listen to her. It's easy to catch a cold after being wet. Take your wife back." Xiaochen said: "Master, you can go back early, too. It's not a joke to get wet in the rain."
Yang Hao nodded gratefully. Lu Rui grabbed Xiaochen's umbrella and gave her a blank look: "Your master's iron-killed King Kong can't be sick if you get wet in a little rain, the crow's mouth." Looking at the figures of the two people who gradually moved away from each other, Yang Hao smiled bitterly, shook his head, picked up his guns and walked towards the welcome hotel.
After taking a hot bath, Yang Hao was having breakfast. Mu Tong led two pawns and carried an iron box. The pawn took off the iron box and retreated. Mu Tong himself untied the rope on the iron box, untied a key from his belt, opened the big copper lock on one side of the box.
With a "squeak", the box cover opened. Mu Tong first took out a blanket and draped it on his body. The blanket was yellowish on the outside, white on the inside, and a layer of water-sealed leather in the middle. This blanket can be used as a bedding or as a coat for keeping cold. Because there is water-sealed leather, it can also be used as a raincoat in rainy and snowy weather.
This is a multi-purpose military blanket specially developed by Fengzhou Blanket Factory for Xining Army. This is the first batch of samples. After eating the Hu cake in his hand in a few bites, Yang Hao patted off the sesame crumbs on his hand, and took the blanket to wrap it around himself. The blanket was thick, dense, soft, warm and waterproof.
"How valuable is this blanket?" Yang Hao wanted to take Mu Tong.
"The cost is three or three cents of silver." Mu Tong replied without hesitation.
“Where are these leather boots and knee pads?”
"Nine cents and eight cereals."
"Where is the rice and grain bag?"
"One monday."
"Scarf, ear protection, mask, gloves?"
"Two cents for scarves, sixty cents for ear protection, eighteen cents for masks, seven cents for gloves."
Mu Tong answered very simply, and finally he added: "The whole set of equipment is worth five or three cents."
Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction and asked Mu Tong: "Do you think it's worth it for us to spend such a big price?"
Mu Tong replied, "These things can boost morale, and I think they are very worth it." Yang Hao took off his official robe and said, "Come on, help me put on all these." Mu Tong smiled and said, "It's hot, so please be careful of being caught in the heat." Yang Hao cursed, "That's as exaggerated as you said? I really made me heatstroke, and I'm afraid I can't resist the wind and cold on the grassland."
With the help of Mu Tong, Yang Hao quickly put on a full set of equipment, head, face, hands, feet, knees and other protruding parts that were prone to frostbite were protected. He put the blanket on his body and buckled the trip strap, which seemed to be a cloak coat. Yang Hao walked around the house with a few steps in full arms, and walked around the yard for two more times, and was already hot and sweating all over.
Mu Tong praised: "With this thing, brothers will not be frozen even if they lie in the snow nest. This is really a genius." Yang Hao waved his hand, smiled humbly, and said to Mu Tong: "Take it to General Ling, and ask him to find a team of soldiers to wear it in the field for experiments to see what else needs to be improved. The brothers will judge whether it is good or bad."
This is a decision made by Yang Hao after he learned from the serious frostbite incident of middle-aged middle-aged students when he besieged Lanzhou at the beginning of the year. The special cold-proof clothing for individual soldiers was specially organized by Fengzhou Blanket Factory. Individual cold-proof clothing is only one aspect of Yang Hao's creation of a new type of military equipment. Another important goal of creating a new type of military equipment is to improve the supply of soldiers' rations. Before the troops move food and grass, they will go first. No matter what war they fight or who they fight, eating is always the first thing to solve. People need to eat, and horses need food. No matter what kind of war they are, they must eat food. No matter what kind of war they are, they must eat food.
It is slow to transport food and grass to the front line, with heavy mules and horses, and it is not safe to carry food and grass. Although transferring huge logistics to individual soldiers can solve some problems, this is at the expense of the combat effectiveness of the army, which is stupid and not worth the loss. There is only one way to do it, which is to simplify the huge and complex logistics to the extreme.
In terms of food, the traditional method is to transport rice and grain to the front and then cook with fire. If the transport of rice and grain is changed to carrying cooked food, the scale of the baggage team can be reduced and thus improve logistics efficiency. Further, if the soldiers can carry the cooked food they need, the scale of the baggage team can be further reduced.
If you can choose a good horse that is cold-resistant and hungry, the problem of horse material can be solved. Such an army can be far away from the base for thousands of miles and fight for several months without any logistical support. With them, why worry about not being able to sweep away those opponents on the grassland?
Yang Hao vaguely remembered Genghis Khan's army, and his army had done this, which was also an important weight for him to sweep across Eurasia 6. Aren't the Mongols in Shiwei the ancestors of the Mongols? Yang Hao's hope ignited in his heart, and he wanted to find everything he needed from the Mongols.
He handed over the task to Wan Duan and Yao Guang. One of them was the general manager stationed in the Uighurs, and the other was the general manager stationed in the Khitan. Part of the Shiwei tribe belonged to the Uighurs, and the other part belonged to the Khitan. The two of them kept feeding back the corresponding information, which made Yang Hao very excited. The Mongolians' set could be found in the Mongolians.
Brave hunters often raid in groups of seven or eight people, away from the tribe for months, hunting in the uninhabited northern grasslands. Their methods used to support adventure activities were exactly what Yang Hao needed. They chopped the beef cattle and stir-fried, mixed a special spice and put them in the skin made of the cow's stomach. Each of the hunters carried a skin bag, and the minced meat in the skin bag was enough for them to eat for a month. Sometimes when they were extremely dehydrated, the hunters would use a knife to cut the blood vessels on the horse's neck and drink horse blood to maintain their lives.
These hunters often carry three to four horses. They are skilled in riding. In order to rush, they can not get off the horse for a month, and even sleep on the horse's back.
