Yang Huaiyu felt that since the horseshoe of this war horse was damaged by the horseshoe, then this horseshoe was definitely a good thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The benefits are obvious!

After all, if the horseshoe is pressed under the hooves of the war horse, it is the horseshoe that comes into contact with the ground, and the horseshoes of the war horse will basically not be worn, which can naturally effectively reduce the useless consumption of the war horse due to the wear and tear of the horse's hooves.

If the horses are nailed with horseshoes, they don't need to be so careful when they march, for fear that once the horses carry too much weight, the horse's hooves will wear out too much.

This is definitely a good thing that can reduce the loss of war horses, Yang Huaiyu feels that this is a good thing that must be promoted in the Great Song Dynasty cavalry army.

Yang Wenguang heard Yang Huaiyu go back and say that the horseshoe was ready, so he also came over to take a look. He saw that the horses with horseshoes nailed to their hooves were running, and there was nothing unusual, and he couldn't help but bow his head again and again, saying that this horseshoe had a great effect.

Yang Wenguang felt that this horseshoe would be of great use, so he asked Zhong Hao to write some specific details of this horsehoe into a note and report it to Marshal Di.

Yang Wenguang also planned to report to the commander and ask Jingzhao Mansion to prepare the horseshoe for the vanguard army to nail the horse's hooves as soon as possible.

Although this horseshoe has not been verified for a while, it seems to be a little hasty to dress in a hurry. But Yang Wenguang still trusts Zhong Hao, since Zhong Hao said that there is no problem with this horseshoe, Yang Wenguang believes it.

The waterways in the Liangguang region are crisscrossed, and the damp land is easy for the horse's hooves to fester, and most of the vanguard army is armored cavalry, and the weight of the war horse is also larger than that of the ordinary light cavalry, so the wear and tear is also more severe.

Originally, the elite led by Yang Wenguang this time were all one person and two horses, and the preparation of the cavalry was used to carry the armor on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also necessary to prepare for the loss of a large number of war horses in the Liangguang area, which was used to prepare for the cavalry, so as to ensure the maximum combat power of the troops.

Now that there is a good way to reduce the damage of war horses, it is natural to use it. Even if it takes a little more time to install, it is also cost-effective, sharpening the knife and not cutting wood!

………………

When Zhong Hao went back to his camp to write a note about the horseshoe, he thought of some countermeasures about avoiding miasma, so he wrote it on the article together by the way. How can I say that I am also a staff officer of the Dashuai Shogunate now, and since I eat this bowl of rice, I have to do something.

Zhong Hao felt that he was still a very real person, although Marshal Di didn't expect him to really have any ideas for making this praise painting, but he still had to take out everything he knew.

The Western Army is the only force with combat power in the Great Song Dynasty, and in Zhong Hao's eyes, every soldier of the Western Army is the important weapon of the Great Song Dynasty. This time, the soldiers of the Western Army who went south to quell the rebellion could have fewer casualties, and they would be able to retain a little more combat power, and they would be able to have more confidence in the battles against the Western Xia and Khitan in the future.

Although Zhong Hao is a little greedy for enjoyment, and some are open-minded and mercenary, he is really not a righteous and pure person, but he still has a sense of responsibility in the overall righteousness of the country and the nation.

This time on the way to Jingzhao Mansion, Zhong Hao listened to the soldiers of the vanguard army talking, what they were afraid of when they went to Liangguang this time was definitely not the barbarian soldiers under Nong Zhi's master, in the eyes of the elite of the Western Army, those Southern Barbarian monkeys were simply some local chickens and dogs, and they were not able to withstand a blow from the Western Army, and what they were most afraid of was the miasma of the Liangguang area.

After coming to the Bashui camp, Zhong Hao also listened to other Western Army troops talk about the power of this miasma, and they really talked about the miasma.

It's a bit funny to say that this time when they went south to quell the rebellion, the Western Army was not the direct opponent of Nong Zhigao, but the natural enemy of Miasma.

At this time, although the Lingnan area was more developed than the previous dynasties, there were still many places that were far from being fully developed.

At this time, in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, Lingnan was a land of poor mountains and bad waters that were not completely civilized.

The officials who committed the most serious crimes in the Great Song Dynasty were generally degraded to the Lingnan region. In the eyes of the Great Song scholars, this is already the heaviest punishment.

Many prisoners who were sent to the army would rather go to the northwest frontier, where the bitter cold and wars are continuous, than to go to Lingnan, where miasma is rampant. In the northwest frontier, the most serious thing, that is, encountering the Tangut people to attack and plunder, although there is danger, but there is always a chance to live. However, if you encounter a severe miasma in Lingnan, there is basically no chance to escape, and if you encounter a little poisonous miasma, you will be in danger of dying.

At this time, many closed areas in the Lingnan area, such as deep mountains and old forests, river valleys and ravines, mud ponds and swamps, are rampant with poisonous miasma, and these miasma sometimes drift with the wind, even if they are far away from the places where miasma occurs, they will sometimes be poisoned by miasma.

Especially on Guangnan West Road, the Great Song Dynasty even had a not-so-nice nickname at this time, called "Miasma Township", which is extremely important to say that the miasma here is heavy. When outsiders go, they are very susceptible to miasma attacks, ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to falling unconscious or even dying.

It can be said that this time the Western Army entered Liangguang to quell the rebellion, the most worried is not Nong Zhigao's army, but the miasma, once the Western Army troops suffer from miasma in a large area, how can this battle be fought?

Zhong Hao's later life happened to see some methods to avoid miasma on the Internet, which are said to be effective recipes summarized by people for thousands of years.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be a little grateful for the developed information conditions in later generations, and this method may be able to save many Western Army soldiers at this time

So Zhong Hao decided to write this method of avoiding miasma into the article together. If this article had been adopted after it had been submitted to the commander's account, it might have been able to reduce a lot of non-combat attrition for the Western Army.

The method that Zhong Hao knows to avoid miasma, which is relatively simple and easy to achieve, is to drink barley porridge and chew betel nut.

Barley, also called barley, coix seed, its sex is cool, the taste is sweet and light, into the spleen, stomach, lung meridian, with water infiltration, spleen and stomach, clear lung heat, stop diarrhea and other effects. It is said that after taking barley porridge for a long time, it can lighten the body and dispel miasma. Barley is rich in nutritional and medicinal value, and many people in later generations even said that barley rice is the first among rice.

In fact, this method has been recorded since the Eastern Han Dynasty. When the Eastern Han Dynasty general Fubo Ma Yuan fought in Jiaozhi, because the southern mountains and forests were hot and humid, and the miasma was rampant, in order to fight against the miasma, Ma Yuan often ate barley, which could not only lighten the body and save desire, but also defeat the miasma. It was by virtue of the miraculous effect of this barley that the Han army led by Ma Yuan was not disturbed by miasma poison in Jiaozhi, and repeatedly defeated the Jiaozhi army, and General Fubo was also famous.

General Fubo may have liked this barley too much or recognized its role too much, so when he withdrew his troops from Cochin, he also specially brought barley back from the south. As a result, after his death, the people who were slandered said that this barley was a pearl, so that he and his wife and children were not wronged in vain, which is the allusion to the famous "coix pearl" in history. Later generations often used the metaphor of "Coix Pearl" to be slandered, wronged, or deliberately reversed black and white, confusing right and wrong.

In addition to drinking barley porridge, chewing betel nut is also a simple and effective way to avoid miasma. Betel nut is also known as "washing miasma pill", and often chewing betel nut has a good effect on fighting miasma.

Drinking barley porridge and chewing betel nut can be taken together to avoid the human body from miasma.

Barley rice and betel nut are not precious things, they are both native products of the south. In the south, you can easily gather enough rice and betel nuts. Therefore, Zhong Hao believes that these two methods are the simplest and most effective ways to avoid miasma. (To be continued.) )
