In the past half month, they have been tossing and turning in the severe cold, wind and snow every day, and many soldiers have shown symptoms of cold and heat on the way back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Commander Xiao Liu was born in the wounded barracks, and knew that this situation was extremely bad, and he had to prepare early. If a large-scale outbreak of typhoid fever in the army at this time will inevitably affect next year's Eastern Crusade.

Therefore, Captain Xiao Liu used a secret method to contact the master in advance, and asked the master to prepare a large amount of medicine and hot soup.

When they returned to the camp, as soon as they touched the hot stove, many soldiers did not want to eat at all, so they wanted to fall asleep.

Commander Xiao Liu knew very well that if he didn't use a big bowl of medicated hot sheep soup at this time to send out the cold qi accumulated in the bodies of the soldiers these days, if he let them sleep directly, after waking up, most of the soldiers would fall ill.

The head of the regiment has an order that he must drink this bowl of hot mutton soup before he can rest. Out of instinctive obedience to military orders, the extremely tired soldiers still insisted on carrying out the orders first.

Most of the recruits drank this steaming bowl of mutton soup, wiped the sweat from their heads, and then fell asleep.

Old Medical Officer Sun looked at these soldiers who fell to the ground, and he was not angry. He knew that in the past half a month, he had indeed tormented these recruits. The veterans were able to hold on at this point and began to busily carry the recruits back to the dormitory.

Old Medical Officer Sun said to the eldest apprentice: "It's also thanks to their good food in the past few months that they have raised their bodies strongly, otherwise they really won't be able to survive." ”

Commander Xiao Liu frowned and said to the master: "In this exercise, I really found that this is a big problem. According to our original food, although the soldiers can eat strongly, it seems that it is still not enough to meet the needs of the future crusade. ”

Li Deyi nodded: "Yes, not only these recruits can't stand it, but even those elite veterans are a little tired after this toss." It seems that we need to add some hard dishes to the soldiers' meals. ”

"Starting tomorrow, we will buy twice as many cattle and sheep from the Yi people every month. From now until the expedition, we must ensure that the soldiers are better fed. Xiao Liu said.

"Senior brother, it seems that we have to add more jerky to the soldiers' rations." Li Deyi added.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, be quick." Head Xiao Liu immediately made a decision.

From beginning to end, the two regiment leaders didn't think about money at all.

Wang Meng listened beside him, and sighed in his heart. When the next year sets out, the Dingbei garrison will have more than 100,000 troops. How many cattle and sheep do you have to consume if you eat like this, and how much money does it cost, the two regiment commanders are really willing to spend this money on the soldiers.

He is once again trapped in the habit of thinking of assisting the emperor.

Although Wang Meng no longer mentions the matter of fighting the world now, after all, he has studied for more than ten years, and he has learned this set of skills, so although his habits have changed now, his thinking is still inevitably affected.

In Wang Meng's heart, the soldier is a knife used to fight the world, as long as it is sharp and can kill the enemy, as for the maintenance of the knife, he doesn't care so much. According to what Wang Meng learned, soldiers are consumables and do not need to be taken care of so carefully.

As a monarch, he just needs to put on a show, fight for the name of loving the soldiers, and coax the soldiers to serve his life desperately.

After all, the emperor came out to fight the world, and after the fight, the world is his private property. The so-called whole world is not the king's land. The king is rich from all over the world.

After the unification of the world, the money spent on raising soldiers was the emperor's own money (when it was not unified, it could also be used to feed the enemy).

Emperors all came out to make money by "fighting the world", not by losing money to raise soldiers.

Therefore, as long as the world is unified, these emperors and heroes will never consider spending an extra penny on the soldiers.

Therefore, after the establishment of each dynasty, things such as "swords and guns are put into storage, horses are put in Nanshan", "soldiers are unarmed, and the countryside will be hidden".

After all, raising soldiers is the most expensive type of business in the world. After the unification of the world and the pacification of the world, there was no war, and no emperor was willing to continue to consume a large amount of his money and food every day, and then feed so many soldiers and horses. With so much money and food, it is good to use it to repair the palace room and take beautiful sex.

On the surface, people who write history in later generations always like to detain this kind of thing to the heads of civil officials, saying that this is a trick by civil ministers to suppress military generals. It seems, and it is, that is. Whenever the dynasty completed the unification, there were always civil officials who jumped out and suggested that the emperor "cultivate literature with martial arts".

But in reality, the short-sighted emperor thought that the world was settled, and there was no longer a need to maintain a large number of troops, nor was he willing to spend huge sums of money and food every day to maintain so many soldiers and horses.

The civil officials seized the emperor's careful thinking of treating the world as his own home and becoming picky, and took the opportunity to write a book, and suppressed the generals when he met his wishes, killing two birds with one stone.

And most of the short-sighted emperors will push the boat down the river and praise the civil officials for "knowing how to govern the country".

The emperor immediately issued an edict, saying that if the world is safe, the people need to recuperate, and the population needs to prosper. Therefore, some of the soldiers in the army were disbanded and allowed to return to their hometowns to reproduce.

From then on, the dynasty only retained part of the Beijing camp and the border army, and disarmed most of the soldiers and returned to the field.

Of course, what the emperor said was also true, after the world experienced a great turmoil, a large number of men died in battle. In order to multiply and cultivate the fields, it was also necessary to release a large number of soldiers and soldiers back to their hometowns, so that they could multiply and cultivate in order to resume production.

In this ordinary week, all dynasties and dynasties have attached great importance to food production, but they regard farming as a lowly job, only slightly better than craftsmen. People with a little ability will study and become an official on the right path. The so-called everything is inferior, only reading is high.

The emperors of all dynasties attached importance to agricultural production, and the way they attached importance to agricultural production was only to symbolically plant a wheat seedling in the imperial field every year and wave two hoes to "persuade farming".

But in the Dingbei garrison regiment, this was not the case at all. There is simply no way that a soldier will return to his hometown to farm after being discharged.

Nowadays, the land controlled by the Dingbei Garrison Regiment is cultivated by special farmers, and the Dingbei Garrison Corps gives them a lot of rewards and praises every year. Moreover, the Dingbei garrison regiment has set up heavy rewards all year round, looking for methods, technologies, and talents to increase grain production.

In today's Dingbei County, the farmers who farm the land are specially trained by the agricultural college, they are proficient in farming technology, can skillfully use various agricultural equipment, and have a strong professional quality, and a farmer can easily cultivate hundreds of acres of land.

The soldiers, on the other hand, are talents in another profession. The Dingbei Garrison Regiment has now divided the industry more carefully.

This is also in accordance with the unfinished concept of Di Dashuai back then. now

The soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, after being discharged from the army, have a large number of suitable arrangements and will no longer engage in farming.

Now, after the soldiers are discharged, some first-class soldiers will be left behind to enter the officer academy and serve as instructors. Some of the disabled soldiers of the first class will be assigned to stand guard in the military zone and act as guards.

There are also a considerable number of retired elite soldiers, who will be left to enter the patrol battalion of Dingbei County and Trade City, responsible for maintaining order on a daily basis and deterring Xiaoxiao.

At the same time, these elite soldiers were also preserved as the last troops, maintaining military training every three days. In the event that the war is bad in the future, they are the last reservists. Although at present, it is unlikely that the Dingbei Garrison Regiment will be able to use this reserve army, but it is always prepared.

As for the small number of soldiers who are enough to cultivate the original qi, there are different arrangements.

After they retired from their positions, they would remain in the Dingbei garrison regiment and serve as instructors and be responsible for training recruits.

Moreover, when the main force of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment is out on the march, these elite veterans will become the main combat force of the defenders, under the command of the three generals and the old doctor Sun.

These arrangements for retired soldiers were all handled in accordance with the regulations left by Di Dashuai back then. Although these arrangements are diverse, they fully bring into play the residual heat of the retired soldiers. But at that time, Di Dashuai did not dare to put it into practice.

Back then, although Dashuai Di pulled up the shelf of the Weibei camp, after all, he was still a general of the Pingzhou court, not a strong man who divided one side.

Therefore, although Di Dashuai had the intention to keep the retired elite soldiers and arrange a good livelihood for the brothers, he was actually unable to do so. Because this will leave a handle, and people will be said to be a private soldier with bad intentions. It's a pity that Di Dashuai didn't do this, and he was still charged with this crime in the end.

The current Dingbei Garrison Regiment does not have so many scruples at all, and it can arrange the retired soldiers as they want.

For example, today, which emperor dares to take care of the affairs of the Dingbei garrison? The three emperors not only didn't care about the Dingbei garrison, but also had to worry from time to time that they were found fault by the troublesome deputy head of the regiment. The previous time the emperors of the two countries planned to make peace with the Liao State, they were scolded by Li Deyi in a letter. Subsequently, Deputy Head Li had nowhere to vent his anger, and in anger, he directly slaughtered the three major tribes outside the Saiwai.

So now, several emperors are very careful not to provoke this killer.

All the soldiers were placed, and it was already dawn. It was already the first year of junior high school, and the Chinese New Year's Eve was so busy.

Before I knew it, the year had passed.

Li Deyi wiped the sweat from his head a little tiredly, and glanced up at his senior brother.

Regiment Commander Xiao Liu said: "There are more than 20 soldiers who have symptoms of cold and fever, and I have separated them separately and temporarily arranged them to recuperate in the wounded barracks. ”

Li De suddenly felt something, and said: "Senior brother, no wonder all dynasties, even people like the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, are difficult to completely conquer this grassland. Our soldiers are already considered to be strong and strong, but they can't stand the cold on this grassland. If any of the soldiers and horses of the other three kingdoms entered the grassland, even if they could defeat the barbarians, they would be trapped in this severe cold and unable to hunt down the remnants of the barbarians. In the end, the barbarians were still able to recover slowly, survive until the dynasty weakened, and made a comeback. ”

Although in the past half month, I have been very busy and tired, and I have hardly slept a single night. But Li Deyi is still in good health and in good spirits. In the end, he has cultivated the original qi, but he is different from ordinary people.

Zhu Biao and Liu Ying, two newly enlightened boys, couldn't stand such a toss, drank the cold soup, and went to rest.

Captain Xiao Liu pulled over a stool, asked the junior brother to sit down, took another one for himself, sighed, and said, "This is probably also the way of heaven." Although the environment of this grassland is harsh, the winter is long and harsh, and the barbarians who oppress the grassland have not been prosperous. But at the same time, it also exercises to maintain the ferocity of these barbaric and bloodthirsty people, and if you want to live and live well in this grassland, you can only be fierce. At the very least, you have to be able to fight the wolves and survive the cold winter. Therefore, as long as these steppe barbarians can grow to be in their teens, they are naturally superior cavalrymen who are brave and fierce. ”

Hearing what his senior brother said, Li Deyi agreed very much and said: "Yes, there is a lot of arable land in the Guannei, the climate is suitable, and the products are abundant. As long as the people work hard, they will naturally be able to eat enough and dress warmly. Therefore, as long as the world is stable and there is no war, the people of Pingzhou will soon be able to multiply and create a great prosperous era. However, if people are comfortable for a long time, they will become cowardly and timid. In the last years of the dynasty, the combat power weakened, the border defense was lax, and once the wild wolves outside the fortress entered the customs, it would be another catastrophe. ”

The two brothers sat like this for a while, talked a few words, and suddenly felt unbearable hunger in their stomachs, so they got up together and hurried to the Huotou camp for some breakfast.

In the Huotou camp, Wang Zhuangbiao was holding a large pot of hot food, and he was eating it violently.

The third uncle next to him looked at Wang Zhuangbiao and said with a smile: "Little fat man, you are really good." In the past half a month, the cold wind has been blowing in the wilderness, and I haven't lost a pound of fat. ”

Wang Zhuangbiao continued to snort and continue to send food to his mouth, and then took the time to say, "Third uncle, what do you always say? Sprinkle the flesh of the family, but there are few these days. ”

When the third uncle heard this, he laughed directly, and while laughing, he poked Wang Zhuangbiao's oily belly with his hand, and jokingly said: "Is it too cold, and the big lifting scale used by our garrison group to weigh pigs is frozen." You're just weighing it a little lighter? ”

Listening to the third uncle's obvious ridicule, Wang Zhuangbiao continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Wang Zhuangbiao is too fat, so his face is very fat, even if his face is red, he can't reveal that thick skin for a while. Immersed in eating hard, Wang Zhuangbiao tried to ignore the disturbance of the third uncle.

Li Deyi and his senior brother arrived at the right time and relieved Wang Zhuangbiao.

The third uncle was obviously more interested in Li Deyi, because the entire Dingbei garrison regiment was not big or small, and he was messing around with his old man. Seeing that Li Deyi was coming, the third uncle immediately gave up Wang Zhuangbiao and came to play with Li Deyi.

Xiao Liu, the head of the group, is now seeing the third uncle, which is no different from the original. He used to respect the old man of the third uncle, and he still respects it now.

"Xiao Wang is here? Come, come, sit. The little fat man hid a pot of fried tenderloin in the middle and wanted to eat it himself. "The third uncle came up with the first sentence, and he sold Wang Zhuangbiao first. The third uncle knew that Xiao Liu was a stuffy gourd, and no matter how much trouble he made, it would not have an effect, so he was only polite.

Wang Zhuangbiao was anxious on the spot, "Third uncle! Then he stood up sharply and rushed into the inner room first.

Li Deyi shouted at Wang Zhuangbiao's back: "Brother Wang, the third uncle is bluffing you!" ”

Wang Zhuangbiao promised in the air: "If you go home, you will go back!" ”

"Little plum, skinny. In the past half a month, I have suffered a lot of crimes. The third uncle said with a smile. This opening remark is still a typical tone of concern for the younger generation.

Of course, Li Deyi will not be fooled. Besides, Li Deyi prefers to mess around, even if the third uncle doesn't come to trouble him, every time he sees the third uncle, he will make trouble for a while.

"I'm okay. Third uncle, you have lived for such a long time, I'm afraid you haven't been to the grassland a few times, right? Next time I go out to train, I'll take you with me to experience what it's like to lie in the snow nest! "Li Deyi is bad.

As soon as Li De said, he began to think in his mind that when the time came, he would have to secretly grab a handful of cold snow and pour the back of his neck into the third uncle.

Looking at the light in the third uncle's eyes, it was obvious that his old man didn't think of anything good.

The third uncle shook his head, shook his head again and again, and said, "Hey, you really looked at your third uncle through the crack in the door and flattened the old man." I haven't been anywhere in the world, it's those fairy islands overseas, and the old man also went there when he was young! ”

Li De tilted his head and said in a strange voice: "Come on, third uncle." Can you really blow it, overseas fairy island? I'll tell you a little bit, you promise you haven't been! ”

The third uncle was unconvinced: "You say! ”

"Ten Thousand Cities! Have you ever been old? ”

"Have you been?" The third uncle asked loudly.

Li Deyi nodded vigorously.
