Chapter 482: Snow Equipment

Cheng Chumo said that he was also a person who had been on the battlefield for a few years, and he decided to give Sun Xiangfu, a guy who lived a comfortable life in the greenhouse all day long, and said, how difficult the conditions for the soldiers to survive in the ice and snow are, however, Sun Xiangfu did not give him this opportunity, since he was not in a hurry to eat, let him freeze it again!

"Little sister, bring a water scoop, Zhao Gang, Zhao Qiang, you each pick a load of cold water to the yard." After finishing the order, Sun Xiangfu pointed to Cheng Chu outside the house and said silently, "Come out and have a look!" Tell Your Majesty and Li Xiang the method I taught you, and the new city should not be difficult to break. ”

If Li Shimin stops attacking the city, he is afraid that he will not be able to start the war again until March or April next year, in this case, the army may have to fight in Goguryeo for a whole year next year, and the emperor has so many political and economic development things to do, and it will be a bit wasteful to spend all his time on the battlefield.

After a while, Zhao Gang and Zhao Qiang, who replaced Zhang Ke who stayed in Chang'an to get married, each picked up a bucket of water from the house, because there was coal burning in the house for heating, and when the water in the tank was picked out, it was still steaming, Cheng Chumo looked at Sun Xiangfu who was holding a water scoop a little proudly, and was a little puzzled.

I saw Sun Xiangfu scoop a scoop of water with a wooden scoop, high, little by little to keep the water flow a thin line, poured it out of the float, and then poured it into the snow.

"What's the matter, it's a cold day, you take me out to play in the water?" After speaking, Cheng Chumo was about to turn around and go into the house to warm up.

"Keep watching."

After the heavy snow in Shanyang fell, the temperature was at least more than ten degrees below zero, and the water that could keep it not freezing in the house quickly cooled down when it got outside, and the cold water poured into the snow like Sun Xiangfu quickly became an ice lump when he kicked it with his feet, and as the two buckets of cold water stayed outside the house for a longer time, the temperature of the water in the bucket became closer to freezing.

Then, a magical scene appeared, as soon as the water was poured into the snow, it became ice, and the speed of water enjoyment and watering became faster and faster, and in the end, Zhao Gang, Zhao Qiang, and the bucket were poured directly.

"Look at it, four buckets of water, a one-meter-high big ice pier, the whole army of 100,000 people went up together, one night, it is an ice wall higher than the city wall of the new city······"

Cheng Chu is not stupid, when Sun Xiangfu talked about this, his mind had already automatically supplemented the picture, if the Tang army poured out rows of ice ladders like this and directly climbed the city wall of the new city, with the weapons and equipment of the Tang army, the Goguryeo soldiers would not be able to fight with them at all.

"God, it's God, why didn't I think of it!"

"Understood, hurry up and go on the road after eating, spirits and cold-fighting medicines, I have asked people to prepare them for you, just load the car."

Sun Xiangfu took the water scoop, shivered, hurriedly pushed open the sheepskin curtain used to seal the hot air in the living room, and sat in his place, so as not to be occupied by Cheng Chumo again.

"Well, that, there are no other magical things, you can tell me all at once, lest I keep running around, this back and forth is thousands of miles away, how difficult it is······"

Not to mention, when he asked like this, Sun Xiangfu really thought of something, in the TV series of later generations, he has seen a lot of scenes of snow battles, Cheng Chumo said that it is not easy to come and go, so let him become easy!

"After eating, let's go to the workshop."

As soon as he heard that there was really one, Cheng Chumo was excited, and his appetite for eating was also opened, a large fish, several large plates of side dishes, but most of them were in his stomach.

The style of sleds and snowboards, how could Sun Xiangfu, who grew up in later generations, not remember it! With these things, walking in the snow is no less fast than walking on a dirt road in normal weather conditions, especially in the mountains, when walking downhill.

If the heavy snow could not affect the march of the Tang army, and even speed up the march of the Tang army, then the disadvantage of the Goguryeo army, which was marching slowly, was even greater.

Sun Xiangfu only needs to give the style, and the craftsmen can quickly build it according to his style, and it is not just skis and skis that are created. There are also a lot of skates, children in later generations, roller skates, scooters and other toys, almost when he was a child, Sun Xiangfu can roller skate, then, it is not difficult for him to master the balance.

For this kind of skates that only need to be made of metal into a knife-shaped sole to support the sole, he doesn't need to explore how to improve, he can control it with his feet, so Sun Xiangfu glides on the artificial lake of Tianshan Residence and flies, envying others, and behind him, the sound of fluttering wrestling from time to time makes Sun Xiangfu a little afraid that this ice layer more than half a meter thick will be broken by Cheng Chumo.

"It doesn't make sense, why can you slip as soon as you put it on, I always fall after putting it on, it must be a problem with shoes, let's change a pair."

Sun Xiangfu came to a beautiful ice surface and spun around, circling around Cheng Chumo while laughing, "Everyone's ability to master balance is different, you are weaker." ”

"Impossible······

When Cheng Chumo continued to question, the reality told him that his balance was indeed a little weak, because Sun Deshou, Sun Xiaomei, Zhao He, Wang Erxiao, etc., all of the children of the peasant sect could ride their skates and slide slowly on the ice.

"I don't believe it······"

"Puff ······"

"Hahahaha······"

After falling for a day amid everyone's laughter, Cheng Chumo was finally able to slowly control the skates, and then the skis and snowboards were much easier to learn.

"The soldiers of the baggage team all have frostbite to varying degrees, and these days are just the right time for them to recuperate in the medical school, and after the workshop builds a batch of sleds and skis come out, you can set off again, and the strategy of watering into ice will be implemented in the coldest time of the lunar month, which is the easiest to succeed."

Li Shimin can't let Yuangai Suwen fight all the way and escape all the way, a fortified city will take a few months to knock down the entire Goguryeo, only afraid of a few years, in this way, the economic pressure of the Tang Dynasty will be great, Wang Xu sent over the 20 million yuan of land purchase money, but not all the military purchase loans can be repaid, because in the follow-up, Shanyang and Weinan have sent millions of weapons and equipment, medical supplies, etc. to the front line, and the war has been fought like this, it has to be sent to the front line. This is tantamount to wasting money that should have been better promoted for domestic economic development.

"Hehe, with these skis, as long as the new city is broken, it will be difficult for Yuangai Suwen to fly."

Sun Xiangfu nodded, with the wisdom of Li Shimin and Li Jing, of course, he would formulate a relatively complete plan according to his favorable conditions, he didn't have to worry about this, but he had to think more about the problem after it was defeated.

Although the Goguryeo people like to live in the city like the Han people, but, in essence, they are still semi-nomadic, although the folk have a certain degree of sinicization foundation, but at most they are equivalent to the Han people of the semi-Hu descent of Shanyang before, according to Li Shimin's meaning, it is to move these people to Guannai, and disperse and resettle, however, this will definitely lead to the sparse population of the Northeast region, which is somewhat unfavorable for its development into an inalienable territory of the Tang Dynasty.

This place, during the Han Dynasty, there was a county management, but later, it rebelled, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed it, it rebelled again in the later period, and then, needless to say, the Liao State established by the Khitan Department was based on this land, until later generations, the area of the eastern peninsula was not under the rule of the Celestial Empire, and Sun Xiangfu naturally would not allow this situation to continue.

Then, moving more Han people to this area, strengthening Han culture, and teaching Chinese is the next work that needs to be done in the entire Northeast region.

After skating for a day, Sun Xiangfu sent a letter to Yu Xiu'er, asking her to expand the art troupe and recruit and train a group of art troupe members for the eastern, western, and southern regions that were about to be incorporated under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

In the future, these art troupe members will not only perform for the soldiers stationed in the garrison, but also perform for the local peasant people and all walks of life, subtly increasing their sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty and their sense of identity with Han culture.

When it sent a letter to Chang'an, Chang'an also had a letter to Shanyang, which was sent from Yunnan, Shelong with the help of Xiao Yu, successfully returned to Mengshezhao, and then, announced a series of Wang Hao's crimes, and gained control of Mengshezhao, at this time, the Yunnan tribes that had been disabled by Chai Shaojun chose to surrender to Shelong, and pushed him as the co-owner of Yunnan, with the help of Chai Shaojun, Shelong strongly incorporated the population of various tribes, so that the land of Yunnan was under its control.

However, it is a pity that when Shelong returned to Mengshezhao and corrected Wang Hao's crimes, Wang Hao's sworn party protected him and killed him in the depths of the jungle, and finally, under the pursuit of Shelong, the only remaining Wang Hao and Zhang Cheng chose to jump into the river.

For this reason, Xiao Yu was in Jiannan Road, and even wrote to Chang'an, asking Fang Xuanling to order Wang Hao to be wanted nationwide, and at present, there is no news about their whereabouts.

In late November, Cheng Chumo once again escorted nearly 2,000 carts of medical supplies and equipment, embarked on the journey to Liaodong, this time, the box car carrying the materials was all modified, the iron wheel bearings and wheels were unloaded, placed in Shanyang, the iron-clad wooden carriage, all replaced with a sleigh car base, filled with medicinal materials and a pair of supplies, pulled by two horses, can run in the snow, the speed of going, than when back, can be more than twice as easy.

Just wait for him to arrive in Liaodong City, equip the sergeants with those snow equipment, and then conduct some training, I believe that before the Spring Festival, the attack on the new city should be able to come to an end.

When Cheng Chumo embarked on a journey full of wind and snow, thousands of miles away, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty also left Hengros City and went to their next stop.

Compared with Cheng Chumo's arduous march, they are simply extremely happy, more than two months ago, after the Tang Dynasty took Broken Leaf City and declared that it had sovereignty over thousands of miles of surrounding land and more than a dozen countries, the itinerary of this mission became the focus of attention of all the countries in the Western Regions.

Therefore, when they go to any country, there will be the lord of the country who organizes the people to welcome them, and they will offer all the delicious food and drink.

Secondly, the Tang Dynasty performed theatrical performances in the Western Regions, which became completely popular, and once let the kings of some small countries, regardless of the safety of the country, follow their footsteps and go to neighboring countries to watch, in order to watch this kind of shocking performance more often, as soon as a program like Thousand-Handed Guanyin comes out, the audience in many small countries is directly kneeling down, they are more superstitious than the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they are in awe of those unexplained visual phenomena.

It's no wonder that this situation will occur, there are too many countries here, religious beliefs are too complicated, Xuanzang in history, just walked around the Western Regions, he passed through one hundred and thirty-eight countries, and now, the envoy team deliberately collected and sorted out the information of these countries, then, on their entire envoy route, I am afraid that they will pass through two or three hundred countries.

These countries are not big, some have a circumference of only a few hundred miles, a diameter of only a few dozen miles, a larger one, a circumference of a thousand hundred miles, a diameter of several hundred miles, if a horse passes through directly, it is possible to cross the border of two or three countries a day, saying that it is a country, in fact, the size, and the states and counties of the Central Plains are a level, the population, is also a thousand, one or twenty thousand, to hundreds of thousands, the largest, is only two or three hundred thousand people.

And because businessmen have frequently sold Datang goods in these countries in recent years, they are no strangers to Datang, and many lords of the country, like those merchants, call Datang the Celestial Empire, and this time, after really seeing the demeanor of the Datang envoys, they know what the word 'Celestial Empire' represents.

It was a country of etiquette, it was a place of great treasures, where the army was invincible, and where the medical skills were unparalleled······

Even because of their limited vocabulary, they can't fully describe the Datang they know.
