Chapter 239: A long-term investment has finally paid off
The old doctor Sun sat on a low stake in the courtyard, holding a strange stone from Li Deyi's filial piety in his hand, constantly groping and fiddling, and humming an unknown tune in his mouth. www.biquge.info If you only look at Old Doctor Sun like this, you really can't see that the Tuliao army is about to be overwhelmed.
Last time, Commander Xiao Liu and Li De and the garrison regiment around Li De went south to find that glimmer of life and meet the 60,000 cavalry of the Tuliao people's army on the western road. Old Doctor Sun couldn't sleep all night when he was worried, and he didn't hesitate to spend his original energy, forcibly pushed the battle situation several times, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, for fear that the two apprentices would worry, and no one let Sun know.
This time the Tuliao people came again, although the momentum was more fierce than last time, the soldiers and horses were even worse, and even the Tuliao Emperor himself was in charge, Fan Daoshi was in charge of the overall situation, and the old doctor Sun was no longer worried. Not only did he drink wine every day, but the sun shone on it, and he didn't even use the star map at all. The two apprentices are so competitive, and the old medical officer Sun, who is the master, is naturally happy to be idle.
The big apprentice knows astronomy, knows geography, can change, and can fight. The little apprentice has a lot of ideas when he fights, and he can make any means out (especially like to harass people at night to rest), and the mule under his crotch is even more brave and invincible. These two apprentices cooperated, even if the whole army of the Tuliao people pressed down, Old Medical Officer Sun was not worried now.
The two good apprentices of Old Medical Officer Sun didn't know that Master had such a high opinion of them in his heart. Old Doctor Sun rarely gets angry, and even often messes around with his apprentices. In fact, his old man is very majestic, and he has been fighting in the pile of dead people for decades, and the evil aura of his body and a smile can cure a child to cry at night.
Now, the master is happy and idle, but the two good apprentices are very busy. Li Deyi and his senior brother Xiao Liu, the head of the group, are each responsible for a large mess of things, and they are so busy every day that their feet don't touch the ground. At present, the focus of the work is that Regiment Commander Xiao Liu is responsible for stepping up the training of foot soldiers, and Li Deyi is responsible for stepping up the training of cavalry.
One of the most important aspects of this cavalry training is to select good war horses. Since the garrison regiment established the Dingbei horse farm on the grassland, it has sufficient pasture grass and clean and convenient water sources, and the breeding of war horses has become more and more prosperous, and now, there are more than 10,000 war horses of appropriate age. These war horses are now enough for the cavalry of the garrison regiment, some elite cavalry, and even one person and two horses.
It is said that the selection of war horses is purely an experience job, how old is Li Deyi, and it has only been a few years since he came into contact with war horses? Not to mention that he also rides a mule all day, which is simply not competent. But don't forget his brother, who is the only son of the world's number one god horse, Fire-eyed Fox, "Hummer". At this critical moment, the importance of having a good brother becomes apparent. Li Deyi can't pick a horse, but the "Hummer" can. So as the old saying goes, it's not bad to go out by friends, if you have a good brother, and it happens that this good brother has special abilities, then you are definitely lucky!
"Hummer" is a natural prince of horses (his father is the emperor, and the emperor has not abdicated yet, so the "Hummer" is still the prince), and the selection of war horses could not be simpler. As long as the "Humvee" goes to the herd to wander around, which horse can still keep calm against the "Humvee", do not tremble, do not scurry, and do not need to pick, this is a qualified war horse that can be on the battlefield. If there is an occasional horse that dares to bark at the "Humvee" and dare to show its hooves, then there is no need to think about it, this horse must be a good horse of a thousand miles, with the dignity of the strongest of its own horses.
There is such a super plug-in as "Hummer", Li Deyi's process of selecting war horses is fast and good, after the selection, the elite veterans of the Weibei Battalion, who are specially responsible for taking care of war horses, can't help but give a thumbs up, and praise the deputy head for his strength.
Li Deyi's face turned red, patted the "Hummer" next to him, and whispered: "I will give you more dinner tonight, and I will let Wang Zhuangbiao make braised pork for you to eat." Now the most popular dish in the "Hummer" recipe has changed from fried tenderloin to braised pork.
The reason why it became braised pork is mainly because after the Dingbei Garrison Regiment established the Dingbei Racecourse, for the safety of the racecourse, it took advantage of the situation to control the Jinshui River. This section of the Jinshui River, due to geothermal reasons, does not freeze all year round, with this river, the Dingbei garrison regiment can catch enough fish all year round. Although Weibei Camp controlled the Xiaoqing River before, the Xiaoqing River had to be frozen in winter, and the fish caught were not enough to eat. This time, with enough fish, Wang Zhuangbiao was finally able to perform another of his ancestral skills, making fish sauce.
With this fish sauce, Wang Zhuangbiao took advantage of the situation to make the extremely delicious ancestral secret braised pork of the Wang family. After tasting it once, the "Hummer" did not hesitate to abandon the fried tenderloin and defect to the Wang family's ancestral secret braised pork. The fried tenderloin said fiercely: "You wait for the braised pork, I'll go to the west first, when I have the magic weapon 'Pepper', let's compete again!" ”
Until the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Li Deyi was still busy in the racecourse, and he had no plans for the New Year. There is no way, the westward expansion of the Tuliao people is imminent, and the situation can no longer allow him to relax at all.
After finishing the things on the horse farm, as soon as Li De returned to Dingbei County, he immediately continued to train the thirteen children in the majestic realm, urging them to maintain their combat strength and prepare for the next big battle. The other children also trained with them, but the intensity was slightly lower than that of the thirteen children. In Li Deyi's heart, these fifty-three children are all the same. It's just that those who are a little stronger should be trained more, and those who are not good at it should also be practiced to prepare for the future. In the future, once these children in harmony enter the majestic realm, they can immediately become elite cavalry.
In Dingbei County, after training the children in the morning, they ate dinner, and in the afternoon, Li Deyi continued to walk around the steel school. Now everything in the steel academy is on the right track, the first batch of 500 trainees have all finished their pre-job training and began to officially take up their posts, contributing to the war machine of the garrison regiment. The rest is that in another two years, after these students gradually become proficient, the output of the steel school will have further qualitative changes.
Along the way, Li Deyi began to think in his heart, when to recruit a new batch of students. While walking and thinking, Li Deyi's thinking slowly diverged, and unconsciously, the fragments of memory leaked in from the crack in the sea of knowledge. In a trance, a few familiar words suddenly emerged from Li De's consciousness, "enterprise culture is very important," "ideological education is very important," and "only with unified thinking can we improve combat effectiveness." ”
These few words that came out inexplicably in the sea of knowledge made Li Deyi confused, but in the dark, he always felt that these words were very important, and even the future of the entire Dingbei Garrison Regiment was contained in it. Shaking his head, Li Deyi dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his mind, first kept these words in his heart for the time being, and slowly pondered them later.
Walking forward, before I knew it, I came to the vicinity of the Steel School. Li Deyi looked up and saw that all the 200 steps around the school had been cleaned up, and there was not a single household, and the original shantytowns had also been moved away, and the poor households were given new houses built by Weibei Camp for resettlement. Li Deyi even had a whim, and wrote a few scarlet characters on the wall around the gate of the Iron and Steel Academy: "Two hundred steps to the left and right of the school, it is strictly forbidden to set up stalls."
Just as he was about to walk towards the gate of the school, Li Deyi suddenly heard a shouting voice in his ears: "That old man, hurry up, this is not the place where you want to eat." When I looked up, it turned out to be the veteran of the guard on duty today, driving away an old man in rags.
After looking up a few times, Li Deyi found that this old man was actually in front of the gate of the school, two hundred steps away, and he had not crossed the cordon, but he was the closest. This group of veterans of the Weibei battalion, don't look at the battlefield, all of them are fierce and vicious, killing people without blinking. In fact, on weekdays, they are all honest men, and Di Dashuai recruited soldiers back then, as long as he was an honest farmer.
Although the five veterans scolded the sloppy old man and got up quickly, it was only their duty, and none of them moved to get rid of the old man. Although the old man was surrounded and reprimanded by five veterans, he was still unhurried, raised his cheek, stood up from the ground, and reached out to pat the yellow mud behind his cheek.
The old man raised his hand again and straightened the collar of his torn cotton jacket that was leaking cotton wool, and said loudly: "I heard that the deputy head of your Dingbei Garrison Regiment has asked for a good forging prescription left by Taizu of Pingzhou with a lot of money, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”
One of the veterans, who was probably the captain, also knew a little about this, and immediately opened his mouth and said: "This old man, this is indeed the case, do you have a good prescription to offer?" The old man pretended to smile mysteriously, shook the cuffs of the rotten cotton jacket that had been torn to reveal the cotton, raised his head and chest, and walked away calmly.
Originally, I didn't think it was anything, but when I looked at the way the old man walked, Li Deyi suddenly came to his senses. This old man, his walking posture looks strange at first glance, but if you have seen the children of the big family, you will see the difference, this old man actually walks like a crane! This kind of walking posture is not something that ordinary small families can have, it must be a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, in order to cultivate the children of their relatives with such a demeanor.
"This uncle, please stay!" Li Deyi sprinted a few steps and caught up with the sloppy old man who was about to leave. He clenched his fists and gave a meeting gift to Taizu Jianghu. Li Deyi said loudly: "Don't hide it, the kid is the deputy head of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment. Just now I heard at the door of the school that you have a good forging recipe left by Taizu of Ping Zhou, I don't know if I can tell you one or two. ”
Since this old man is likely to be from a big family, Li Deyi has to be as tactful as possible, and he has to pay attention to the tone and tone of his voice, so that he looks like a civilized person who understands etiquette. The family has learned this set of things since childhood, they look at people, judge a person's good or bad, first of all, look at whether your words, deeds and behavior are decent. Of course, many of the gentlemen of the family can afford to behave, have a generous demeanor, and at a glance, they are all first-class and good-looking. But it's just a good look.
The sloppy old man was not in a hurry to reply, but kept looking at Li Deyi at the last glance and the next, as if he was distinguishing the truth from the false. Li Deyi is not in a hurry, and now as long as he mentions the forging recipe left by the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, Li Deyi is surprisingly patient.
After standing quietly for a while, the old man suddenly said, "Yes, I will make the Pingzhou Taizu inverted flame furnace." (To be continued.) )
