To solve the two major troubles, Li Deyi took Wang Zhuangbiao and Li Wuving, and returned to the camp outside Fenghe City with a smile on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Li Deyi was injured, it didn't take long for him to recover from these injuries that he had already cultivated to a layer of Vajra Ability. Now his wounds were closed and bleeding was no longer bleeding.

It is said that good things come in pairs, and happy events come in pairs.

Not long after solving the two scourges left behind, this time Li sent the general logistics grain and grass to garrison the regimental camp, and brought good news along the way.

Li Deyi has long insisted on high rewards, discovered new technologies and various welfare measures, and in Dingbei County, the status of craftsmen has a very high income. In particular, the Dingbei Craft School has made many skilled craftsmen become dignified masters.

And until now, Li Deyi still insists on not accepting any Confucian scholars or children of big families who come to take refuge. So now in Dingbei County, there is no market for the remarks that "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high" So what do you do after reading the book? You can only go to the exam and become an official. If a scholar is engaged in other industries, he will only be ridiculed as being reduced to inferior grades, which is a sign of no profit.

So what do you do as an official? Thousands of miles of officials are only for money. This kind of rhetoric will eventually lead a large number of young people to throw themselves into the backwater officialdom and fail to make any beneficial contribution to the country's social and technological progress. The eventual demise of the Former Ping Zhou Dynasty had a lot to do with this social phenomenon.

In Dingbei County, there are only two pro-people officials so far, and there are no officials for those who study. Due to the strict maintenance of public order, the living order of the people in Dingbei County is extremely comfortable, and it can be said that the road is not left behind, and the house is not closed at night. The people live and work in peace and contentment, few people argue, and although the two pro-people officials are in charge of millions of people, they still have a lot of spare power.

Now in Dingbei County, children can go to school at the age of five, all schools in Dingbei County are free of charge, and they can also stay, and the school is also responsible for the supply of paper and pencils, so the people don't have to worry about their children not being able to afford the school. When children go to school, they first learn simple literacy courses, and when they are 10 years old, when the literacy courses are completed, children can choose which school to go to. Steel School, Agricultural College, and Craft School, these three can be chosen by children and adults.

Since there are no so-called Confucian scholars in Dingbei County, there is no superior scholar class, and the families have been swept away. All the common people naturally enjoy equal treatment, so these people will not worry that after their children have learned the craft, how to farm, and how to forge, they will be ridiculed by the "scholars" or the big families, and they will be despised by them, caricatured as untouchables, and despised as running lowly jobs.

In Dingbei County, after graduating from these three schools, students can have a good treatment, and the money they earn is used to support their families, marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby, and they definitely don't have to worry. If you are skilled, you will be hired as a master in the school. If you can improve a technique, you will get a high bounty and the treatment of soldiers of the garrison regiment, so now the people are very willing to let their children go to the school to study.

In the past few years, under the careful construction and maintenance of Li Deyi, Dingbei County has finally created a good environment for craftsmen. In a dozen years, it will develop into a social system, and finally slowly stabilize.

And now, this environment, which has shown its embryonic form, has begun to return to Li Deyi, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and Dingbei County.

For a long time, Li Deyi insisted on encouraging craftsmen to carry out technological innovation, or to restore and recreate the lost advanced techniques of the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. Under the stimulation of high bounties and the guarantee of worry-free life, a craftsman finally restored a technology that was once prosperous during the founding of the Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and was later lost!

It's the four-wheeled carriage steering technology! The existing four-wheeled carriages in the world only have four wheels installed under the large cart, which causes the four-wheeled carriage to turn very awkwardly, and the weight is not large, and it needs a large number of oxen and horses to pull, so it is rarely used. The board carts used by the Dingbei garrison regiment for a long time were two-wheeled vehicles, not four-wheeled vehicles.

But this time, through the ancestral skills and continuous long-term experiments (thanks to Li Deyi, the Dingbei garrison has always fully supported his experiments, from funds to manpower and material resources), the car repairer Lin Cheng finally succeeded in replicating the carriage steering mechanism that is said to have been lost during the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty.

The mechanism of the front axle was made together with a double rod and then connected to the chassis by a rotating pivot, allowing the heavy carriage to steer with ease.

Moreover, this craftsman Lin Cheng also cooperated with the master of the Dingbei Iron and Steel School to grope for the production of steel springs and installed them at the bottom of the carriage.

The result was a new four-wheeled carriage.

This new four-wheeled carriage can be pulled by four or two pack horses (mules) and is extremely fast, nearly half as fast as a two-wheeled cart. Moreover, due to the installation of spring support, this kind of carriage runs more smoothly and is more suitable for rough and poor roads.

What's more, these four-wheeled carriages are capable of carrying more goods than pallet carts. It is said that each new carriage can transport up to 3,000 catties, but in order to stably transport grain, grass and ordnance over long distances, each cart generally only carries 1,000 catties of goods.

This time, with only 200 taels of new-style four-wheeled carriages, Mr. Li successfully transported the logistics supply this time, but the time was shortened by nearly half compared with usual!

In the past, if it rained, it was necessary to suspend the transportation and let the accompanying engineer battalion pave the road in front to prevent the wheels from getting stuck in the muddy and fluffy mud puddle after the rain.

But now, with this four-wheeled carriage, you can go straight to it with a slight increase in speed. Even if the wheels didn't get too hard in the mud, thanks to the springs on the bottom of the car, it only took a few soldiers to pull the wagon out easily. In this way, heavy rains can no longer hinder logistics operations from delivering grain and grass.

As soon as this new-style four-wheeled carriage drove into the camp of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, it immediately aroused Li De's idea. When he asked Mr. Li about the specific situation, he jumped up happily and laughed: "Senior brother, what am I talking about!" The book "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao" is by no means a random fabrication! The book says that when the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty was founded, he made a four-wheeled carriage with a body of stainless steel bars and a weight of more than 3,000 catties. In peacetime, it is used to transport grain and grass, and in case of war, it can be connected end to end to form a car formation, thinking that the fortress is against the enemy. Look, senior brother, this four-wheeled carriage has really been built! Although there is still a gap with what is said in the book, it is enough to prove that "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao" is not made up by later generations! ”

When describing the army during the founding period of Taizu in the Pingzhou Dynasty, the book "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao" mentioned that at that time, there were more than 80,000 four-wheeled carriages with a load of 3,000 catties, and there were as many as 350,000 pack horses used to pull the carts.

Many later scholars believe that this is nonsense at all, but it is just a deliberate exaggeration by later novelists. It is an exaggerated rhetoric used by novelists to attract attention and increase the sales of the book.

There are even many scholars of later generations who are fond of research, they found out the historical materials left by the third emperor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong, and found that there were only 180,000 war horses in the country at that time. During the founding period of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, the world had just been unified from the war and had not yet recovered, and the war horses of the entire Ping Zhou Dynasty were probably less than 100,000 at that time, where could there be so many pack horses?

I think that the founding ancestor of Pingzhou, the great god of time-traveling, if he knew that later generations denied his great achievements in his life so much, and even cited any historical materials, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he would travel again.

Circling around the new carriage, Li Deyi yelled excitedly. He was finally able to prove that what was said in "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao" was indeed true, not made up randomly!

Captain Xiao Liu is also very happy, what he values more is the strategic significance of this four-wheeled carriage! With this four-wheeled carriage, the logistics and transportation capacity of the Dingbei garrison regiment will be greatly enhanced.

Originally, Commander Xiao Liu had been hesitating whether to continue to pursue in the grassland after driving the Tuliao Kingdom back to the grassland in the future. He was not worried about the lack of combat strength of the garrison regiment, but worried that the logistics would not be able to keep up! Now with this new four-wheeled carriage, the logistical problems that plagued him will be completely solved!

And, as the junior brother said, this new four-wheeled carriage was indeed large enough to carry a large number of soldiers, and in case of emergency, the carriage could be connected end to end and used as a temporary fortress to defend against the enemy.

Xiao Liu, the head of the regiment, pulled Mr. Li and asked, "Can this carriage be supported by a steel frame?" ”

Mr. Li said: "Xiao Liu, can we build a carriage in this way, that is, our current steel production is just enough, if it is used in this new four-wheeled carriage, I am afraid it will be a little insufficient." ”

Commander Xiao Liu pondered for a while, and whispered to Mr. Li: "First install steel rails on the left and right sides of the carriage, and make a hundred of these new four-wheeled carriages, I will be of great use." After it is done in Dingbei County, it will be shipped together next time. ”

Recently, Regiment Commander Xiao Liu has been thinking about the next operation. In the middle of the Northern Hebei Province is a large plain that stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west.

And now that Ashina Huo'er is becoming more and more cunning, he does not hesitate to give up the face and glory of his ancestors, and has long been unwilling to fight head-on with the Dingbei garrison.

In the next step, the garrison will inevitably continue to advance northward, fighting the Tuliao cavalry led by Ashina Huo'er on the plains. At that time, the cunning Ashina Huo'er would inevitably take advantage of the open plain terrain to harass the garrison from all directions. Now the Tuliao cavalry under the command of Ashina Huo'er is no longer the fierce golden wolf cavalry that can only crush the opponent head-on.

The current Tuliao cavalry is more cunning and ferocious. The last few times they fought with the garrison, once they found that the battle was unfavorable, the Tuliao cavalry would not hesitate to retreat. This situation was unimaginable before.

In the past, the Golden Wolf Cavalry had only two choices on the battlefield, either the whole army was killed, or the enemy in front of them was defeated and defeated, and they would never choose to retreat.

But now, under the leadership of Ashina Huo'er, the Tuliao cavalry has long been accustomed to retreating, and is accustomed to secretly launching surprise attacks from the flank, rather than frontal onslaught.

This created a new problem for Xiao Liu.

For a long time, the infantry of the Dingbei garrison regiment was responsible for guarding the flanks by its own elite cavalry, and the infantry and cavalry cooperated, using two rounds of overwhelming salvos of gold bricks to suppress the cavalry of the Tuliao cavalry, and after approaching, the Tuliao cavalry was defeated.

But now, this tactic may not work in the vast plains in the middle of Northern Hebei Province. With Ashina Huo'er's cunning and changeability, he will inevitably lead the Tuliao cavalry to launch a surprise attack from all directions, relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry on the plain to launch a multi-directional attack on the Dingbei garrison.
