Five more and two points.

That is, at about 3:50 a.m., the drums in the barracks sounded.

The teenagers in the camp were driven up by the neatly dressed instructors with whips, and last night they were well fed and drunk, and there were warm quilts, and for many new recruits, this was simply the most comfortable night to sleep on.

It's a pity that the quilt is still so warm, but I have to get up.

It's still dawn outside, but the drums are beating, so you have to get up.

Kan Ling, who had just joined the camp yesterday, had already gotten up, and he got up almost on the fifth watch. Yesterday, he told his father-in-law Luo Cheng that he was helping to lead the horse, so he would naturally take care of the matter of feeding the horse.

When the fifth watch rang, he lifted the warm quilt and came to the stable to add fodder to his father-in-law's two horses.

Wearing the jacket under his father-in-law's hair, he felt much warmer. This robe is the same style as the boys in the regiment, woven of white linen, with a hakama on the top and large pleated trousers on the bottom. Because in winter, it is a mezzanine, which is filled with some cotton.

The shoes under your feet are high-top cloth shoes, which can be regarded as short boots, and the soles of your feet are flat after wearing them, and your feet are not cold anymore.

The horses had been fed once last night, but my father's horse had died in battle, and the food he ate every day was more precious than a man.

The night grass has to be fed, and the early morning grass has to be fed.

When you go into the stable, clean the stable, remove the horse manure, and replace the grass that has been wet with horse urine for a clean one. After doing this, you have to brush the horse.

He did it very seriously and carefully.

When the stables were cleared, he began to feed the horses.

My father-in-law had two horses, one was black and white, and the other was as red as a jujube.

He didn't need to ask Luo Cheng for advice, he already knew how to feed the horses, his father was a horse wrangler in a ranch in the Sui Dynasty, but later something happened in their family, the officials of the pastoral supervisor were corrupt and sold official horses privately, and the emperor sent the minister Qu Tutong to inspect the horse supervisor in the world, and as a result, the ranch was unlucky, and his father also suffered from the pond fish.

As a child, he raised horses with his father, so he knew that the amount of food he fed to the horses varied in different seasons.

In autumn and summer, millet is halved.

In the spring and winter seasons, the amount of feeding must be increased.

Kan Ling fed the two horses six catties of millet each, and then some more wheat.

Watching the two horses leisurely eating grain and wheat, Kan Ling was a little envious. Horses eat a lot of food, especially war horses, not only in large quantities, but also have to eat several meals a day, and even add some other concentrates at different times.

Bean cakes, black beans, salt, grass, carrots, and sometimes even eggs for them to eat.

Much better than people eating.

My father used to say that the cost of raising one cavalry is enough to support five infantrymen. It would take a rent of twenty peasants to support one infantryman.

According to this calculation, a cavalryman needs the rent of a hundred peasants to support it.

In the cost of cavalry, although the cost of equipment is large, it is not often replaced, but the cost of this horse material is very large.

When the two horses were leisurely full, Kan Ling untied the reins of the horses and led them to drink water and walk.

At this time, the newly recruited teenagers of the township regiment had already washed up and began to line up for breakfast.

After walking the horse back, the teenagers had already finished eating, and Kan Ling went back to the house where he lived to wake up Wang Xiong, who was still sleeping on the bed.

Wang Xiongtan and Ximen Junyi were still lying on the bed and falling asleep.

They are Luo Cheng's righteous sons, not village soldiers, so they live next to Luo Cheng's barracks, and no one comes to call in the morning.

"Get up."

Kan Ling looked at the two guys who were sleeping with Zhengxiang, and finally lifted their quilts.

The bed is a simple handover bed, it used to be called Hu bed, which was originally a kind of sitting, and the real people used to sleep are couches, but now Hu Feng is becoming more and more popular, and ordinary people also use more beds.

However, after the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen wanted to restore the Han etiquette and the Zhou Dynasty system, so he reformed everywhere. And when today's son succeeds to the throne, he is even more taboo against the Hu people.

The name Hu bed is not allowed to be called, and it is renamed Jiao Bed.

There are also courgettes, which have to be called cucumbers, etc.

"Brother Ling, did you wake up early?"

Kan Ling said, "If you don't wake up, you won't have to eat breakfast." The people of the village group have finished eating, so get up quickly. ”

As soon as they heard about eating, Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi, two teenagers, hurriedly got up.

"Ouch, I've eaten so early."

"Do you think you have to get up on the fifth watch, and you can't miss the three o'clock of the hour, this is the barracks."

"What do you eat in the morning?"

"It's late, there's nothing, get up."

The two teenagers got up in a hurry, got dressed, and washed up.

Over there, cousin Wang Huiniang had already come over with a basket.

"I know you haven't gotten up yet, so I've brought you breakfast."

"Huiniang, you got up so early?"

"My father-in-law got up earlier, got up in the middle of the night to make rounds, and got up early in the morning to practice martial arts." Hui Niang complained that the three of them were snooze.

"Brother Ling got up a long time ago, it was the two of us who were snooze, and Brother Ling didn't wake us up earlier."

"Look at how well you are sleeping."

Breakfast was simple.

A large bowl of porridge per person, followed by two steamed cakes.

"There's salt in the porridge."

"I still have a piece of meat in this porridge." Simon was as happy as he had discovered the New World.

"Eat quickly, you have to hurry after eating, and my father-in-law will go back to the county in a while." Hui Niang reminded the three of them.

A few teenagers devoured all the food like a whirlwind of the wind.

When they came to Luo Cheng's courtyard, Luo Cheng had already finished practicing, he got up in the morning and practiced hammer first, then archery, and finally horse lance.

The horse lance was the one that the heir defeated Wang Bo and took back from him.

The lance is a good lance, but Luo Cheng has practiced for a few days, and he always feels that he is not very effective.

"Father-in-law."

A couple of teenagers came in.

"How's it going, are you sleeping well?"

"Okay." The teenagers were a bit restrained.

"Have you had enough breakfast?" Luo Cheng asked again.

"I'm full."

"Well, that's good, from today onwards, the three of you will be by my side. Hui Niang, I left her in my house, you can rest assured, stay at home My mother, my little sister, and sister-in-law will also treat her as family. ”

After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and took out three horizontal knives from the knife and gun rack.

"Give each of you a ring-headed horizontal knife, this is a good thing from Captain Jia Du of the county barracks, you should cherish it."

The three teenagers excitedly took the horizontal knife.

This is a standard military standard horizontal knife, with a side scabbard weighing two and a half pounds, (about 1 later.) 45 kg) is simple and unpretentious, lighter than those luxurious officer swords, but not much less powerful.

In this dynasty, the Sui horizontal knife represents the highest knife forging technology in the world, the steel block to create the horizontal knife needs to go through hundreds of folding and forging, the organization is fine, the composition is more uniform, and then after the soil burning technology, the precise control of different parts of the quenching and cooling, so that the blade part is extremely hard, but the blade is full of toughness, not as easy to fold as the traditional sword, but extremely sharp, can be used for both foot and riding.

Can slash and stab.

"In troubled times, it is not others who can really protect you, but the sword in your own hand. Take this knife and practice it well, and it will be the foundation of your life in the future. ”

"From now on, you are my righteous son, my squire and guard, and my herald!"
