The next day, the whole army conducted another military exercise, this time the selected military marquis.

And the military marquis, who manages two hundred people, must be good in riding, combat skills, and archery.

Therefore, in this competition, there will be two races, mounted archery and mounted combat.

Mounted archery competition, as the name suggests, is to shoot arrows on a horse.

In this era of saddles and stirrups, the cavalry had to control their horses only by the reins and clamp their legs to keep them from falling off as they galloped.

On the back of a running horse, it takes a lot of skill to use a bow and arrow effectively.

Therefore, mounted archery is the first level of the battle for military marquis, and if you can gallop on a horse and shoot accurately, a stationary target 80 steps away will get the opportunity to compete for a military marquis.

After the first level, the next step is the cavalry battle.

In close combat, the cavalry can slash with a sword, stab with a spear and miss, or the collision of the blades of both sides can cause the rider to slide off the horse at any time, so it is better to be able to use the sword and spear as he pleases on the horse.

And the second level of this military election is to fight one-on-one!

Looking at the athletes galloping in Shanglin Yuan, Liu Xie on the high platform was amazed by their riding and archery skills.

Now Takahashi's saddle and stirrups are about to be made in large quantities. As long as the exercise is completed, this army will be dressed from top to bottom, the horses will be equipped with horseshoes, and the people will wear bright light armor and hold the iron sword.

Their combat power will be doubled!

It's just a coalition army, but Erl!

On the high platform, after watching for a while, Liu Xie went back to the big pan, wanting to make a high degree of alcohol.

Standing at the gate of the Son of Heaven's military camp, he rode into the tall wooden gate and drove towards the Son of Heaven.

This military camp was arranged by Zhang Liao, and there were hundreds of tents around the Son of Heaven's Dajiao, and there were thousands of Tianzi's own troops living there, of course, a few palace maids and eunuchs lived on several tents closer to Dajiao.

And outside these hundreds of big stakes, there is a circle of wooden stakes two feet high. Standing densely on the periphery, protecting the Son of Heaven and his relatives inside, this is for the sake of the safety of the Son of Heaven, and it also shows the nobility of today's son.

Rode into the barracks. When I came to the big pan, I took out a few treasures from the cabinet.

Liu Xie held his hand and smiled on his face.

At this time, Liu Xie finally regained a trace of his mechanical house, and was serious outside the big house. Tinkering with a set of homemade distillation equipment.

In high school, the simplest distillation equipment mainly includes: distillation flasks, receiving tubes, catheters, and perforated bottle stoppers.

In short, the low-alcohol liquor is heated below 100 degrees Celsius (preferably around 80 degrees) in a distillation bottle, and the alcohol will be separated from the aqueous solution to form a gas; Then the alcohol gas is directed into the liquid tube through the catheter, and repeated several times to obtain relatively high purity alcohol.

And the most important thing about this set of equipment is that it is sealed!

The distillation flask and the liquid tube are better solved, that is, they are replaced by glassware with a narrow top and a wide bottom. There is no doubt that the firing of glassware has been in the spring and autumn period, but it is just not transparent enough; As for the catheter, it is a tubular glaze, this is a baby bump, it is a treasure of the Imperial Palace, and it was turned out by Liu Xie.

The most important connectivity problem was easily solved by the folk masters of this era, which made Liu Xie sigh that the masters were in the folk!

The master was a carpenter, and he used his mastery of carpentry to carve two conductable stoppers. And this wooden plug is just right to let the glass pipe through, and it is also just right to block the glass mouth, and then stuff something at the interface, and the problem of tightness can be easily solved.

Holding this strangely shaped wooden stopper. Liu Xie was amazed.

Wrap a little quicklime in a cloth and put it in a glass tube.

This quicklime, which can be fired in this era, is called flint lime, and is often used as a desiccant to remove water vapor in modern times.

Liu Xie wrapped the quicklime in the glass tube, because he was afraid that the temperature would not be well controlled. If the temperature is too high, more than 100 degrees, causing the water to evaporate and mix with the distilled alcohol, it will be bad.

Quicklime, on the other hand, can absorb water and water vapor at the same time, making it a good filter material.

Prepare everything, that is, when the Son of Heaven was about to make a move, several screams came from the periphery of the Son of Heaven's military camp.

looked at it and startled Liu Xie.

The camp of the Son of Heaven was already crowded with curious soldiers, and even the two-zhang high wooden stakes were full of people, and the few screams were spread by a wooden stake wall, overwhelmed and crushed.

Looking around again, Xun Yue, the old man who had been following the Son of Heaven, widened his eyes, holding a pen in one hand and a bamboo roll in the other, showing no signs of faintness, staring at the set of equipment.

Stretching his neck, Liu Xie actually saw that Xun Yue was drawing・・・・・・

Liu Xie did not feel that this was a serious infringement at all, because only when technology is spread and mastered by more people will more advanced technology come out.

After connecting everything, Liu Xie ordered someone to burn it.

As for the temperature control, only look at the external changes of the glassware, when the glass becomes red, the temperature will probably reach about 120 degrees.

Therefore, if you want to control the temperature at around 80 degrees, you can only look at the bottom of the glass, and when the bottom is slightly red, you must leave the fire source, and so on.

When Liu Xie, a technical house, was about to be idle, the master carpenter took a thin bamboo and two special wooden plugs: "Your Majesty, you see, this is a cold bamboo, after it is opened, it can replace the glass pipe." ”

Sure enough, since ancient times, the masters have been in the folk!

This master carpenter touched the bypass, and replaced the rare glazed pipes with the ubiquitous cold bamboo, which was a great improvement from a technical level.

Ancient people are indeed not to be underestimated, whether they are people of the world or children of peasant families, they all contain great energy.

Since the master carpenter improved the distillation technology without a teacher, Liu Xie immediately ordered people to manufacture dozens of sets of equipment, and the refining speed of high-purity alcohol immediately increased.

Holding a bottle of Huangbai high-grade wine, he stretched out his nose and sniffed it, the taste was strong, as a scum that could drink one and a half catties of liquor, Liu Xie estimated that this wine must be at least about seventy or eighty degrees, just enough for disinfection.

The Son of Heaven got up, and the onlookers around him immediately scattered out of the way, walked into a tent, and looked at Zhang Dazhuang, a Han soldier with Hu blood, with a smile in his eyes・・・・・・

No! He should be called Zhang Weihan!

His name was given to him by the same as I had given him!

Zhang Weihan was half-lying on the bed again at this time・・・・・・

Last month, the Son of Heaven entered the military camp, and the superb imperial doctor was supposed to heal the wound in his abdomen, but yesterday he participated in the martial arts exercise, and was defeated when he was choosing the commander of the tun, and the newly healed wound was also torn.

Although he was seriously injured again, Zhang Weihan felt extremely happy, even happier than marrying a daughter-in-law, even though he did not marry a wife.

Because now he's the captain of a team!

"Your Majesty~~~" Seeing the Son of Heaven walk into the house, he wanted to get up and salute.

waved his hand and motioned for him to lie down, and the Son of Heaven sat on the edge of Zhang Weihan's bed: "Are you better now?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm the captain of Lao Zhang, and I feel comfortable now!"

Lao Zhang's words caused bursts of hearty laughter inside and outside the tent, Liu Xie's little face twitched slightly, and he died of comfort now, so I won't let you fly to the immortal anymore・・・・・・

Uncorked the bottle, poured out a little alcohol and dipped it on the linen, Doctor Ji, who was busy on the side, hurriedly pulled off Lao Zhang's shirt, and a bowl of red wounds came into Liu Xie's eyes, and the linen cloth was gently smeared on the edge of the wound.

"Oh~~~"

Zhang Weihan's painful and terrible screams almost toppled the entire tent.

"I, I'm still feeling comfortable now~~~"

With a drooping face, Zhang Weihan grinned.

"I'm disinfecting you!"

After listening to this, Ji Ping's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is saying that this thing can cure all kinds of poisons?" ”

Do you think it's a reckless clam, and it also detoxifies a hundred poisons・・・・・・

"This is a high degree of wine, which can be used to wipe the wound and avoid wound infection, but it is not edible~~~"

Without waiting for the Son of Heaven to finish speaking, Duan Zhengchun staggered into the house, holding a wine bottle tightly in his hand and holding a large bubble in his mouth.

"Good wine! It's really good wine! Your Majesty~~~"

"Uh~~~" After a partition, Duan Zhengchun spit out strings of bubbles one after another.

Fortunately, the distillation is only ethanol, if there is highly toxic methanol, it will not break one of my fierce generals, how will I get with your father Duan Xuan in the future!

"Fork out, fill him with more tea!"

Speechlessly looking at Duan Zhengchun, who could still play with Bubble Dragon, Liu Xie waved his hand in a hurry.

"This wine needs to be mixed with water to eat~~~"

Imperial Physician Ji stepped forward, his eyes full of little stars: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something unclear, what is the infection?" ”

Uh~~~ In the Eastern Han Dynasty, where modern Western medicine was not popularized, it was a bit difficult to explain the word "infection"!

Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "The so-called infection is the invasion of foreign bodies. ”

Looking at the medical workers who came around, Liu Xie felt that it was necessary to popularize Western medicine: "For example, knife wounds, wounds caused by rusty knives are more likely to suppurate and more fatal, which is the harm of rust, that is, infection!" ”

"Not only that, but as soon as the wound is opened, foreign objects from the outside world will take the opportunity to invade the human body, such as rust, dirty clothes, and even air."

Stopping the exclamations of the medical workers, Liu Xie continued: "In the future, when dealing with wounds, especially knife wounds, we must use this wine to clean the wounds, and at the same time, the environment for recuperating injuries must also be clean. ”

Then, Liu Xie just said some modern medical knowledge, but the Ji Taiyi and they nodded in amazement, and the old man Xun on the side took a small notebook and remembered it quickly, and after memorizing a volume, he took out a new volume, holding a pen, and said expectantly: "This wine can be used for wound disinfection, and it can also be mixed with water and eaten, which can be described as a fine wine, and please give your majesty a name." ”

"At this moment, when I moved west to Chang'an, it will be called Chang'an Bar!"

"Singing Chang'an wine, loyalty cannot be swallowed. Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home. ”

While singing, the Son of Heaven went out of the house, and the singing accompanied by the autumn wind swept into the hearts of the soldiers. (To be continued.) )
