Chapter 138: Crashing Efficiency
Wei Chi Jingde was very unhappy, he couldn't find any reason to be happy, the cold wind was shining, Li Yuanji took Fang Xuanling and Chunhua, sat in the luxurious and high-end carriage, enjoying the heating, drinking fragrant hot tea, playing with the landlord, and the joy was limitless.
But this kind of joy did not involve him, Wei Chi Jingde could only walk with Cheng Zhijie on the left and right, each of them loved horses, and with this kind of weapon hanging on it, they walked leisurely.
This means that there is no snow, otherwise the appearance of the two will be even worse.
Suddenly, Wei Chi Jingde's eyes widened fiercely, and his cold hands couldn't stop rubbing his eyes, with a ghostly expression.
"It'...... How can it move? ”
"Didn't you watch while he built the carriage? You didn't know he would move? Cheng Zhijie looked depressed, regretting how he made such a foolish friend as Wei Chi Jingde.
"I see that it is four wheels, so why am I interested? I went to sleep in the house, and oh, I stole some tea from him. Wei Chi Jingde scratched his head in annoyance, but unfortunately through the helmet, he could only scratch for a while.
"Holy shit, you bastard hasn't done a good thing, if you had found out that he could move, would the old man still need to sarcastically mock him like you? Does the old man still need to accompany you here to suffer from the cold? Hearing Wei Chi Jingde's reason, Cheng Zhijie was angry, and sprayed at Wei Chi Jingde mercilessly with full firepower.
"How can I be blamed for this? Fang Xuanling didn't know that goods, why didn't he be sarcastic? ”
“……”
Along the way, the two quarreled constantly, in order to facilitate unified command and respond in time, so Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie rode horses and followed Li Yuanji's carriage.
There was nothing idle outside, but the two were refused to board the carriage by Li Yuanji on the grounds that the coach and deputy marshal needed to pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times.
"Shhh...... Delicious! Picking up a piece of shabu mutton and stuffing it into his mouth, the spicy sensation instantly occupied the entire mouth, and he was covered in hot sweat, which made Fang Xuanling feel very happy.
After eating a few slices one after another, I found that my body was not very cold, and I even sweated a little, put down the dishes and chopsticks and took off the coat on my body, and I was even more shocked in my heart.
"Don't really say it, in this wilderness in winter, you can eat a hot, numb and spicy hot pot, even if you take off your clothes, you don't feel cold, I didn't expect this hot pot to have this effect." took off his clothes, feeling that the temperature was just right, Fang Xuanling stretched her waist beautifully, and sighed with emotion.
Before coming out this time, he was ready to suffer, but he didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so well prepared, and the hot pot that he was not able to fully accept in the past could have such a great effect at this time.
There is also this carriage that Li Yuanji called an automatic transmission, a high-end carriage, not to mention, it is really comfortable to sit up.
There is a thick cushion under the buttocks, which can well alleviate the bumpy feeling of the carriage, and the four-wheeled carriage is more stable than the two-wheeled carriage, the two-wheeled carriage not only has to withstand the test of the ground, but the movement of the horse will also have a great impact on the carriage, so the men of the Tang Dynasty would rather ride a horse and suffer than sit on the carriage and be dizzy.
But this four-wheeled carriage does not have these problems, and what makes Fang Xuanling even more amazed is that Li Yuanji does not know how to solve the steering problem, and the two horses can easily pull this huge carriage forward.
As a result, Fang Xuanling, who was guilty of occupational diseases, spun rapidly in his brain again.
"Your Highness, is this base material easy to make? And how much does it cost? The minister wanted to get some to go to the army to eat for the soldiers. "As a long-term historian, Fang Xuanling, in addition to being responsible for making plans, is also responsible for the logistics support of the entire army, to put it bluntly, in addition to directly commanding the battle, he is in charge of the rest.
"Eat this for the soldiers? Then you're ready to even get into it. Li Yuanji smiled and picked up a piece of ham from the pot with only a small half-pot base.
Although the carriage was stable, the road was too bad, it was still bumpy, and after tasting the ham, it was still a little salty: "You can let people prepare more dogwood, soak it in warm water, and eat it directly, although the effect is worse, but it is better than practical." ”
"How can there be so many dogwoods? It is to sweep the entire pharmacy in Chang'an, and I am afraid that it will not be enough for the army to eat for two days. Fang Xuanling scratched his head in pain.
Dogwood is a medicinal material now, if it weren't for the idea that Li Yuanji came up with, he really couldn't think of using dogwood to drive away the cold, he originally thought that it could be mixed with something else, dogwood is just used as an adjunct, I didn't think that Li Yuanji opened his mouth to be dogwood, which made Fang Xuanling embarrassed.
It's better during the day, the army is moving, even if it's cold, it's not too uncomfortable, and the hardest thing is at night.
The temperature is already low, and it is impossible for the soldiers to carry a large number of winter supplies when they go out on the expedition, and even many things are shared by several people, so I really dare not imagine how this battle should be fought?
In the face of such bad weather, but unable to get together enough medicine to ensure combat effectiveness, Fang Xuanling was a little sullen all afternoon.
The speed of the army's advance was very slow, starting from Chang'an, separated by the Wei River, passing through the Wei Bridge, and this first day's march could not go far.
After crossing the Weiqiao bridge for less than an hour, Cheng Zhijie ordered the army to camp on the spot, at this time they had not yet arrived in Xianyang, the straight-line distance was only a dozen kilometers away, and the conversion time, Cheng Zhijie ordered the time to camp at about half past three in the afternoon, and the order was conveyed to the striker, who was looking for a suitable place to camp, and it could be done at four o'clock at the earliest.
The tents of the camp were erected, the defense of the camp was arranged, and when these were done, it was basically dark.
In my memory, I am very familiar with this set of plans for marching and arranging, but in fact, when I experience it, I feel very unfamiliar, such as many behaviors that completely reverse Li Yuanji's three views.
For example, in a long-distance march, the infantry can throw the cavalry out of the distance of two or three days, such as camping, I have never seen that army order to camp at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are many unexpected things, all of which are impacting Li Yuanji's consciousness.
The tent of the Tang army is similar to the yurt, but in order to facilitate the camping and pulling out of the camp, the Tang army has made some changes in the installation steps, and the wooden sticks used for support are much less than the regular ones, but the tent must be high, otherwise it is impossible to light a fire in the tent at night.
The same is true of Li Yuanji's camp tent, but Li Yuanji doesn't want to be so troublesome, it's just a waste of time, and there is no need to be so reliable.
"How big is the king's tent? Go and draw a circle on the ground. The head retracted into the carriage again, it was too cold, and Li Yuanji instructed the two servants who were close behind him.
The servants are Li Yuanji's entourage, and it is their job to do whatever they want, and it is also their job to set up camp, but two people can't do this job, so they have to have their own soldiers come to help.
The servant commanded by Li Yuanji quickly picked up a spear, the head of the spear pointed to the ground, and found a suitable position and barely drew a circle.
At this time, Li Yuanji redressed and jumped out of the carriage tightly, and at the same time, more than a dozen personal soldiers came over carrying the sticks that had just been chopped.
The camp tent is very large, with a diameter of seven or eight meters, such a large camp tent is enough for 20 people to live, but Li Yuanji's camp tent is still not as good as Cheng Zhijie's Chinese army tent, that is called a majesty, even if you stand outside the camp, you can see the figure of the Chinese army tent at a glance.
Li Yuanji personally handled the knife, walked to a place, ordered someone to stick a stick down, and the soldiers did not dare to say much, so they could only bury their heads in hard work.
A cup of tea, Li Yuanji looked at his camp tent with some dissatisfaction, the speed was still too slow, if it was accompanied by cutting down trees, it took nearly an hour for his camp tent, and at the same time, there were not many tents in the camp, most of them were still busy setting up shelves, and the project had just been completed two-thirds of the way.
Camping is a training for the sergeants' ability to cooperate, but this speed is really delaying.
If the process of camping can be simplified, it is especially important for long-distance marches to have an extra hour of travel time every day, and it only takes a few days to walk an extra day.
"Tsk...... Your tent is really peculiar. Cheng Zhijie, who had nothing to do, walked into the tent with Yu Chi Jingde and Fang Xuanling, and said in surprise again and again.
Although the tent looks very simple and does not conform to the identity of King Qi at all, it is fast to win, but I don't know whether it is patient or not.
"Don't worry, even if your Chinese army's tent collapses, this king's camp tent will never be fine." Li Yuanji smiled, and there was a mockery in his heart, do you understand the interaction? Don't think that sticks are strong if they are tied too much, in fact, they are all bird-like.
Cheng Zhijie looked at Li Yuanji with a black line on his face: "My Chinese army tent is really so unbearable?" I don't care, you have to take care of my food tonight, or I'll stay here and not leave. ”
Under the pretext of complaining about his own big tent of the Chinese army, Cheng Zhijie shouted very undisciplined to eat here Li Yuanji, and it was frozen all day during the day, and his whole body had already been pierced by the cold wind.
"There's a business you can't do?" Whatever he does is a floating cloud, he doesn't have much of anything, he just eats a lot, but Li Yuanji remembered a business with feelings, although he can't make a lot of money, but it's no problem to make a little money.
"What business?" Cheng Zhijie instantly looked at Li Yuanji vigilantly, and asked with an expression on his face.
Suddenly, for a moment, I felt that it seemed quite easy to make money in the Tang Dynasty, and I could make money by tossing any object casually. Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Let the entire camp complete the business of camping in one cup of tea!" ”
