The hydrothermal conditions in this time and space are indeed very good, and the aquatic plants in the northern steppes of Chinese mainland are dense. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This was a period suitable for the great development of nomads.

The power of the Tatars continued to grow, and Zhang Guoan knew that in two years, they would begin to stretch out their claws to the south.

One of the signs of increased strength is that their most advantageous weapon for warfare, the number of horses, is constantly increasing.

Horses are not only their weapons, but the horse's milk is also their food during war.

The most important thing is that they have always resorted to the method of eating the enemy.

As mentioned earlier, the advantage of this kind of destruction without construction is that they have a large retinue army, whether voluntarily or forced, and the Tatars have already aroused the evil in them, and they can only follow the Tatars, they can only rob, kill, or they will not survive.

This may be the reason why a very small number of Tatars can lead tens of millions of people, if the four khanates together have almost hundreds of millions.

However, no matter how much they like sports, they will eventually have to stand still, and now the Tatar bandit group is recuperating in the north, whether it is the big leader Kublai Khan or Pingzhang Ahma, they are trying to restore the whole group.

The battle between him and his younger brother for the position of leader, and the war against the uncompatible elements in the north, really cost a lot of energy.

The most important thing is that the previous robbery operation in the south was not too successful, I want to blackmail Jia Nidao, who is like a little hooligan, that guy is not fooled, and he didn't give anything!

In fact, the six space-time smugglers also sincerely discussed, if the Great Song Dynasty implemented the methods of Liao and Jin against the Tatars at this time, could they avoid destruction?

The result of the discussion was no.

First, the Tatars were not Han Chinese, they saw the fate of Liao and Jin, and it was impossible not to learn a lesson, so they must kill the Great Song.

Second, the beliefs of the Tatars are different from those of the Han Chinese, they must rob until they can no longer rob for natural reasons, and even if there is no one else to rob, they will start to rob their own people!

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty had no way to escape.

So, Da Song can't do anything about it, they want to rob you, there are too many excuses.

Unless they are not strong enough, the two sides can still calm down.

The hydrothermal conditions in this time and space are indeed very good, and it is just summer, and the temperature in the southern part of Liuqiu Island is like the height of summer.

For several days in a row, it exceeded 30 degrees, but fortunately there was often light rain, otherwise it would have been really hot to death.

Zhang Guoan built two processing workshops in Badaohe Yantian, both of which were wooden houses, and later replaced them with bricks.

One here is sodium hydroxide, which is the caustic soda processing workshop.

He taught the three salt workers how to process sodium hydroxide liquid, and asked them to process it themselves, except for boiling refined salt, the excess sodium hydroxide liquid was processed into solid caustic soda by steaming, and it didn't matter if the quantity was smaller.

They have long since processed the soap and are promoting its use in the Badaohe area.

Since the process of soap is too simple, and there are too many people who write about it, I won't talk about it here, and the focus will be on nitroglycerine/oil in the future, at least it is also a medicine for heart disease, right?

Of course, Zhang Guoan also taught some simple protection knowledge, although processing caustic soda cannot kill people, and it is safer than processing sulfuric acid on Xiaoliuqiu Island, but at least cotton masks and cotton gloves must be required.

The other is the refined salt boiling workshop, which is specially processed by Zhang Guoan's method, which can produce hundreds of kilograms a day.

The so-called normal saline prepared by Zhang Guoan for everyone with a concentration of one percent is mainly used to prevent heatstroke, but all the people of the Great Song Dynasty mistakenly think that it is to let everyone taste refined salt, which is a move for everyone to share, and they are all very happy.

But everyone drank this all summer, and then everyone got used to it.

Nowhere is the construction work stopped, and it is annoying to work for a long time, but fortunately they still have spare time, so they can practice archery and set off an arquebus.

said that the competition would be held in a month, and the two clubs lined up to start the competition.

The archery field is very simple, just forty paces away stands a scarecrow, one person shoots three arrows, and the one with the most arrows wins.

If there is the same number of arrows, then move the scarecrow ten steps into the distance, until the final one, two, and three are decided, and Zhang Guoan's bow will be rewarded.

The same is true of the arquebus, but it is closer than a bow and arrow at a distance of twenty paces.

They also often happen that after increasing the distance, no one can hit, and there can be no tie, so they adopt the favorite solution of the Great Song people, throwing money!

Zhang Guoan saw that they were seriously throwing copper coins, and they were very resigned to their fate when they won or lost, so he could only laugh and say nothing.

The good bets of the Great Song people are really ubiquitous.

On a game like this, the gambling off the field is the fiercest.

Even the palace maids in the quiet belt blatantly gambled with men.

This kind of competition scene has become a festival for everyone.

Zhang Guoan and Jing Jing even had to bet a few hands, and everyone was happy together.

The talented blacksmith Hu Zhenbei found the two of them and said, "Zhang Ship, there are not many good irons------

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei is not very happy now, he bet that he can win the first place, but he didn't even get the third place, originally, there is still a certain amount of luck in arquebus shooting.

He put the blame for this failure on the arquebus is still too little, originally, the so-called arquebus community has only a dozen arquebuses, if you want to practice, several people use one, you have to wait for half a day!

The reason is very simple, there are too few good irons, and there is no way to build more!

In fact, he always thought that he was building arquebuses, so how bad could the shooting be? Therefore, I usually don't practice when there are many suspects!

But good iron is indeed beginning to be scarce, and things like lead, tin, and copper are beginning to be scarce, and there is still some cotton and linen.

They also need to make some deals with Da Song.

There is no shortage of sulfur now.

The natives sent to the northern mountains of Liuqiu returned, and each of them carried more than twenty kilograms of sulfur on their backs, and listening to their descriptions, it was all volcanic sulfur, and it was very pure.

Zhang Guoan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu to set off there from the sea with a part of the armed forces and labor, and then let the natives lead the team to excavate.

Liuqiu Island is located on the extinction boundary of the Pacific and Eurasian plates, and in the early stage of its formation, there were many volcanoes, earthquakes, frequent crustal activities, and geological instability.

When a volcano erupts, it releases a large amount of gases, dust and water vapor, which contains a large amount of sulfur dioxide, which will form a natural sulfur mine after a long period of accumulation.

Zhang Guoan has actually regarded sulfur as an important exchange material.

He has a map of sulfur mines in the northern part of Liuqiu Island, such as Datun Volcanic District, Guishan Island, and even the banks of the Taipei River, Keelung and other places.

But wouldn't it be better if you didn't do it yourself and let the local natives solve it?!

Therefore, this time, Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu also has a task, that is, to recruit laborers, and it would be better if he could find immigrants from the Great Song Dynasty, even if they were natives.

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu was sincerely convinced by the employment methods of Wu Dapeng and Shibo and others.

They can make everyone use their strength!

In their eyes, there are no useless people------ those who behave strangely, speak indistinctly, and do many things, they can pick coconuts, weave bamboo, even spin linen, and even fire black pottery.

Zhang Guoan smiled with ulterior motives and said, "You still bring some natives, and then recruit some people, if you don't want to come, forget it, but you have to be careful of yourself-----"

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu's face turned red at that time, this is really a pot that can't be opened.

He said embarrassedly: "I will never make the same mistake last time!" ”

Originally, who would have thought that there would be such a big change in the jungle.

This time they were well prepared, with a group of men, not to mention, and three boats!

Subsequently, Zhang Guoan asked Company Commander Bao Wei to take the gang of half-sized people and the remaining part of the armed forces to carry out another large-scale hunt of sambar deer!

Zhang Guoan praised the organization of this hunting activity.

Why are nomads, even semi-nomads, able to defeat more civilized agricultural peoples in warfare?

Of course, in addition to the reason for the era of horses and cold weapons, that is, in the long-term nomadic process of nomadism, whether they are collective grazing or collective hunting, they have slowly formed a kind of mutual cooperation, obeying orders, and improvising on the spot, which is imprinted in their bones.

Even on long journeys, each of them has learned to be disciplined and adaptable.

These are all their strengths.

Of course, if they can't settle down, they have no way to build, they can only destroy; There is no way to evolve, only to develop in an infinite cycle.

As for trustworthiness and etiquette, that's the last thing they need, because the change of the weather is the most untrustworthy, so they who rely on the change of the weather to live will not be trustworthy.

As for etiquette, that has nothing to do with surviving.

Therefore, when in a society, the language becomes obscene and obscene, and the behavior becomes barbaric and terrible, it is that the survival system of the society is wrong.

Zhang Guoan firmly supports the operation of hunting sambar deer, and if the current construction bottleneck period is passed, he will definitely let everyone participate in such activities in batches.

At this time, Liuqiu Island was a paradise for sambar deer, and it was enough for them to hunt for a while.

Moreover, there are still a large number of sambar deer waiting for them on the island of Luzon.

So I can only wait for the completion of all the preparations this time, and then go to contact Da Song again.

They didn't want to ask Ping Zhangjia directly, but gave it to him directly in the form of dedication, and asked him to give back what they needed.

Zhang Guoan knew that Pingzhang Jia Rudao was still fighting with others to consolidate his dictatorship, and sending this batch of military supplies could give him extra points.
