Chapter 1173: Human Survival Seeks the Essence (Part 3)
"It's raining again, and winter here is earlier than elsewhere." At the border pass, where the Yellow River is located, Guo Zhiyun watched the heavy rain outside in the military village.
Today's rain is particularly heavy, and the direction of the clouds is moving eastward, it is estimated that there will be more rain along the Yellow River, and the water will rise.
As soon as the water rises, the flow is faster, and the ships coming from that side are affected.
Qin Li stood beside him and looked up at the sky, it was dark, even if the sun should have risen at this time.
"You need medicinal materials, now that the situation is stable, send the Yulin Feiqi back, and then let the Yulin Feiqi send thousands of Yulin Feiqi over there to bring the medicine."
Wang Junkui doesn't like the current weather, tide, hot flashes during the day, wet and cold at night.
But Zhang Xiaosong doesn't care, the temperature difference is large, he has long been used to it.
"The place where the explosives bag and the Sky Monkey are placed rotates every day, and they are all in the place where the charcoal is burned and dried, and the things in Shu are still being sent, and the 500,000 taels are almost spent, right?"
Zhang Zhongliang was calculating the logistics, and Shudi was sending things in a steady stream, and after he estimated, he thought that there was not much money left.
Qin Li shook his head: "How can 500,000 taels be spent so quickly, in the past, when the imperial court fought, hundreds of thousands of taels could fight for two years."
Even if it is really not enough, the proprietor will find a way, and the things here will be sent back, and they will soon become money.
No movement in Tibet? The letter from the imperial court was sent back, and they knew that the place was occupied, so why didn't they fight back? ”
"It's impossible this year, when the troops are transferred over to stabilize morale, the Yellow River should be frozen, the river can be crossed, do they want to take the initiative to attack?"
Zhang Xiaosong analyzed it from another angle.
The Tibetans did not have time to fight directly, and the surrounding tribes lost the morale to continue fighting.
How many new soldiers can there be? If the number is less, it can't be fought, and if the number is too large, who is responsible for logistics?
When the Yellow River freezes, it seems that it is simple to cross the river, but it is simple on both sides.
On such a cold day, livestock don't eat grass? Or do people skip meals?
It can only increase the scale of the confrontation, and it is not possible to make an effective breakthrough.
What to do in winter? Keep up the logistics!
This battle is about money.
In the past, Datang should have withdrawn its troops? Unable to support the baggage of the expeditionary force.
Now Li Yi may be preparing more supplies to be shipped here, and he is making ships and firearms every day.
There are also grain, meat, spices, and other things that can be bought from other places.
Zhang Xiaosong discovered for the first time that money played a decisive role in the war, which was different from when he took 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers to fight in the Western Regions.
At that time, it was all about raids and speed.
Steady at the moment? Everyone fights for supplies.
The supply of Tibet is not clear, and the supply of his own team is absolutely powerful.
I ate canned fruit, and canned chestnut chicken.
There is no shortage of local meat? Is it okay not to eat canned meat? But sent? It is not a matter of eating, but of a will.
War ahead? Fruits, meat, and vegetables will be delivered from the rear? Hit where it goes, and send it to you.
The morale is different, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? Don't need to eat canned food, where to put it? Sick people? Live injured people who are not good eat.
Yes? Don't eat? and wanting to eat, no, are two different things, the difference is big.
"I've sent something over there again, and I'm going to exchange the braised pork and barley rice made in the pressure cooker with us, and I guess they're stockpiling."
Fan Fan has a notebook in his hand, which records how many things the other party has exchanged.
According to the proprietor, people's actions have a purpose, and when the other party exchanges a large amount, the other party should be in reserve.
Why doesn't the other party make their own sausages and jerky, it is estimated that the prey is better to hunt, and the things they make themselves taste bad.
Or he is also making it, but he uses this exchange to paralyze Datang and make Datang misjudge its reserves.
Guo Zhiyun looked at the rain curtain calmly: "It doesn't matter, the longer it drags on, the greater our advantage, and Li Yi will not give up such an opportunity."
He is a person who can't be seen through, but he can always make mistakes in the general trend and grasp the details perfectly. ”
Now that I think about it, Li Yi has spent several years in the layout, vigorously developing farming technology, and looking for new high-yield seeds.
Research different methods of food storage, as well as weapon sharpening and increased production.
Fortunately, he is from my Tang Dynasty. Replaced by Tubo, it is estimated that there will not be any attack on Datang in the past few years.
When waiting for the attack, Datang will find that there is no way to defend it, just like we will fight the Yellow River field. ”
Wang Junkui said that he was convinced, and the more he pondered Li Yi, the more he found that Li Yi was not ordinary.
Some people are very good at internal affairs and specialize in making money, while others are so good at doing things that they ask people to make new things.
There are also people who are prominent in agriculture and increase food for the court.
The other is the strategic and tactical deployment, starting from the court and implementing it all the way to the border pass.
Look at Li Yi, he is proficient in everything, and what is even more terrifying is politics.
If anyone wants to gain the support of the entire court, he must not fight and compromise in all kinds?
Li Yi is not, Li Yidong has a hammer and a mallet in the west, and the officials in the court are taken away by him, and all the struggles are like jokes.
The officials did not have any direct hatred and containment towards him, and the Zaifu only started from their respective positions and demanded of him.
He met the request, and the Zaifu decided that it would be okay.
Throughout the ages, who has been able to do this? Li Yi did it.
He has a good personal relationship with any official, and he always sends things, looking like a junior.
He also helps in official affairs, and he doesn't want political achievements.
"How can there be such a person in the world?" Wang Junkui thought and couldn't help muttering.
He felt that Li Yi was the first person in the world, but he didn't know that Li Yi had a real number one person in the world at that time.
He has no children, no property, no ashes, and can scold the person lying in the crystal coffin, at most debating.
But you can't scold him, scolding him doesn't belong to the debate, it's just that many people just scold him back.
"I came here to change things, a hundred horses, and a lot of rock sheep, all of them died."
When Wang Junkui was talking and thinking, people from the tribe appeared in front of him, and someone greeted him.
Recently, various tribes in Tibet have always come to change, change things, change the medicine they have made, and even women who give birth to children have sent them over to ask Guan Lin's family to help.
Guan Lin's family has forceps and other ancillary things, and recently they are studying caesarean section and blood transfusion.
Because books and a lot of equipment were delivered, as well as operating instructions.
They first tested on cattle and sheep, and then waited for people.
The day before yesterday, they dissected a person from the Tubo tribe, but they really couldn't give birth, so they tried to do it.
Then he lived, and until now, the mother and child are safe, the mother has a little fever, and she has pressed down again and again, and there is milk to feed the child.
It was Guan Lin's mother and wife who underwent the operation, and they studied witch doctors, so they were ruthless when they started, and they were ruthless to themselves.
The key is that the mother of the tribe with difficult childbirth is alive, and the son is also alive and is recuperating.
The mother and son were sentenced to one corpse and two lives in the Tubo tribe, which was not possible at all.
Reporting the last glimmer of hope, he was sent by horse all the way.
The leader and the clansmen no longer think about him, and send them to ask for comfort, let's send people to the hands of the divine doctor of the Tang Dynasty, it's not that we don't work hard.
I didn't think that after I sent it, I was cut and lived.
Take the child out of the belly directly, cut a big hole, and then the mother and child are alive now, and the mother can still breastfeed.
The tribe approves of it, because people can just find a reason to say that you can't be saved.
It's normal to die, why should you be sent to your Datang doctor if you can live?
People don't cope, they really fight, just like they treat their own people, and they do their best.
The people of the tribe had nothing to say, and when they confronted each other on the banks of the Yellow River, Datang did not fight directly.
When the commander had a problem and everyone ran away, the people of Datang caught up and told them that they could live in peace.
When I felt that life was sad, the people of Datang changed things again.
When he was sick, the doctors of Datang treated him.
sent the woman with difficult birth, and Datang helped give birth to the child, so carefully raised.
Is this Datang? Change it, as long as there is something, change it, and treat it when you are sick.
What war? It has nothing to do with us, what is the purpose of the war?
Feed yourself better? There are already there.
Catch others to come and work, and you can do it yourself.
There is glory in dying in battle, so why should I die? My daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and sent it over, and everyone helped her.
After saying that, there will be chilblain cream, face cream, lipstick, malaria pills, toilet water, kerosene lamps, and hot water bottles......
You can change it all, you don't have to fight, and you definitely don't have it, unless you hit Chang'an and capture Li Yi alive.
Why war if you don't need what you can get through war?
Is it easy to attack Datang, or is it easy to catch rock sheep?
Is it easy to grab things from Datang, or is it simple to raise sheep and yaks?
