Chapter 530: The Cat Winter Begins
Ensuring the hygiene of the soldiers is the most basic way to prevent them from getting sick, and if the soldiers knew that their baths were so luxurious, they probably would not use them for bathing, and they would probably use the salt water in the baths to cook and eat.
The bathroom uses a larger stove to boil water, unlike the barracks stove, which has a larger stove and a large water tank on it.
In fact, it is a simple version of the great boiler.
Simply to the top of the stove is the water tank, the following coal space is very large, adding a large number of coal blocks at a time, can drive the heating of many rooms, but now there is no heating function, can only be used to boil water.
It is used for bathing in drinking water on a daily basis.
The construction of the baths was simple, bricks and cement, which were provided by the barracks' kiln workshop.
It took more than ten days to build the bathroom, and after application, the temperature of the entire bathroom was hotter than in summer, and the fighters were divided into several batches for bathing.
It is impossible for 100,000 people to wash at the same time, so the time is staggered, and even then, the people in line will have to wait at least half a month before they can get their turn.
He Bida knows that the current scale of the bathroom is not small, and it is not impossible to build more, the key is that Weili will bring such a special boiler.
However, it is not impossible, these generals require the soldiers to boil water on the stove in the barracks, wash their faces and feet every day, and maintain personal hygiene.
In this way, Wei Li stayed in the military city until the first snow, and then left, during which the supplies transported from Youzhou were transported three times, and he almost followed back after it was completed.
On the way back, the university weather is not good, the travel time is extended, and at this time, the Liaoshui area has become quiet, and the pioneer cat uses a honeycomb coal stove to heat up in the military city, and the cat winter begins.
Looking at the cold weather on the side of the Goryeo people, the 200,000 soldiers and horses have been withdrawn due to the weather, and half of the soldiers and horses in Silla have been withdrawn.
Su Gaiwen was anxious, he was afraid that if the soldiers and horses of the Sui State came over at this time, they would inevitably fall into a dangerous battle situation with their powerful terrain.
Half of the people are gone, their own strength is very clear, if they really want to fight, I am afraid that they are really not opponents, Su Gaiwen is a little weak in his heart.
The key is that they have to stay outside in the cold and the pressure is very great, and the pressure on the people of Goryeo is even greater.
The war has consumed too much of their supplies, and they originally thought that they would defeat the millions of soldiers and horses of the Sui State and win a complete victory, but who would have thought that such a strong army of soldiers and horses would be killed halfway.
Today, Su Gavin was wearing a cotton coat on the mountain and watched the vanguard scouts who came to check every day, every day was a time, and every other hour someone would come to inquire about the situation.
Su Gavin knew that if they really retreated, he was afraid that the soldiers and horses who were staring at them would immediately come over.
In fact, he really thought too much, attacking from the mountain road was absolutely impossible for the vanguard, because it was all cavalry that would not give up these advantages at all.
In addition, fighting on mountain roads will be more effective for Goryeo people who are very familiar with the terrain.
Hebida will not use his shortcomings to fight for the advantages of others.
Su Gavin didn't know that the generals he faced were not ordinary people, at least they could use their brains.
He Bida, Shi Huaiyi, and Ding Qilin are now in the barracks every day to study new tactics, especially with the chariots, they are cavalry.
In the process of moving, the main weapon is the bow and arrow, and the mobile battle requires high skill from the warriors, but these have outstanding advantages for the bow and ballista.
Because their ballista is very accurate in using arrows during movement, especially when facing the enemy's charge, the ballista can play a very large role in sniping.
They didn't plan to attack the territory of Goryeo at all, because they really couldn't pass through the waterway at present, and according to the transfer of the scouts, there was also a way to bypass Goryeo, which was suitable for cavalry assault, but they all needed to pass through Tiele, Beiban and other tribes.
If they do attack from a long distance, then things will change and the danger will be greater, because they will have to face the Turks and other tribes first.
Therefore, Hebida and the others thought about a detour from the beginning, but they gave up decisively after it was not feasible, they knew the idea of the Grand Governor, and the most effective way to consolidate the territory was to make people more.
After next year's spring ploughing, waiting for the autumn harvest will have enough food to supply so many of them to be stationed in the military city, and at the same time, they will have to absorb the people to come over and continue farming.
The situation in the military city is very stable, the enemy does not dare to attack rashly, and if he comes to attack in the winter, he will really come to die.
The winter in Youzhou City is very hot, and every family's kang has been used, and people who do not have a job in winter are at home for the winter, and Li De asked Li Shimin to issue a decree to encourage population growth.
This kind of thing is tantamount to having something to do with the gynecology clinic, and the knowledge about fertility and other things are publicized by the staff of the clinic.
The people of the castle guard gave support.
Then there is the stability of the vanguard settlement, which is also on the agenda.
300,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number, they are mobilizing soldiers to write letters to their families, so that all their relatives can come, and there is still a welfare for the soldiers.
For example, the families of the resettlement families did not need to open up the wasteland after arriving in Youzhou, but shared the ready-made land, which was reclaimed by the pioneers.
However, the number is only one-third of the number of ordinary people who settle down and press the head, and if you want to get the remaining two-thirds, you need to cultivate it yourself in the following year.
If you don't choose to cultivate, the existing fields are enough to live, and not everyone can catch up with such good things as coming and picking up ready-made ones.
The mood of the soldiers was very high, and with the development of Youzhou in the past two years, with their strength, the Turks did not come to attack, making them feel that it was time to let their families come over.
Their longing for their family is also an irrepressible emotion, and it is not a matter of being detained all the time.
Li De has long wanted to let the soldiers' families come over for reunion, but he has been busy with development, and he really can't do everything.
Now that there are some foundations to make this decision, it will be twice as effective with half the effort.
The soldiers are busy now, and after some mobilization, they will send soldiers and horses to personally pick up the families of the soldiers as soon as the winter is over.
Take them from worrying.
This winter, Li De plans to enjoy the warmth of the family quietly.
No one wants to be cold outside in the winter, so it's better to spend time with your relatives at home and cook something delicious by the way.
"Husband, the hawthorn you asked for was dealt with yesterday, what do you want us to do?" Li Xiuning asked.
Li De looked at the hawthorn that had been washed and dried, and said, "Now I want to make a delicious one, you need to wait." ”
