Chapter 422 [Western Regions Autonomous Region IV]
The Qin State did not forget the Wei army that had expeditioned to the Western Regions.
When he saw the convoy personally escorted by Zuo Sikong Du Zhi and Gan Sheng, the only son of Qin Guoshang's doctor Gan Long, Pang Juan's eyes were a little moist; He even saw the large-grain upland rice of Wei and the familiar big-leaved autumn siad in the carriage, which are the favorite food of the Wei people, and he was no exception.
"It's early summer, not the season for the autumn harvest, how are these preserved?"
When I think of the taste of Qiu Xiang stew, Pang Juan wants to drool, and I have been thinking about this bite since I came to the Western Regions, but unfortunately although Qiu Xiang is not worth anything, if it is not in the autumn and winter season, it will never be eaten, even if it can be stored in the winter, it will be eaten up before the beginning of spring, he really can't understand where Qin Guo got these many Qiu Xiang.
"This is the autumn siong stored in the Bai family's commercial and trade bases, and it has been hidden in the ice cellar for a whole winter, and it must be transported all the way to the ice, otherwise it will be damaged before it arrives in the Western Regions."
Bai Dong smiled and said: "Brother, I don't have the ability to go to the sky, and I can only get some big leaves of the Wei State to come, I just hope to be able to talk about the homesickness of tens of thousands of soldiers, unload the autumn shon, kill the pig, and raise the fire!" A few days ago, I also put some frozen tofu, today our old Qin people do the east, invite the Wei brothers to eat hometown food, tomorrow Wei Wushu is Wei Jingqi, eat and drink enough to have the strength to train! ”
Cabbage and tofu stewed pork is a mouth-watering delicacy in any era, and these pigs are castrated ~ cut before the love period arrives according to Professor Bai Dong's method, and they are free-range in the countryside. Never fill with water. This one met autumn siad and frozen tofu. Roll it in the pot twice to reveal a sweet fragrance, and then pour some Bai Dongming's vegetarian soy sauce, which is guaranteed to make Zhou Tianzi jump over the wall when he smells it!
Wei Wushu, who was feasting, wiped his mouth one by one and burped, where he still looked like an invincible elite soldier in the world, and more like a group of guys who were full of warm thoughts, and it was time to go to bed. Pang Juan didn't care about the soldiers who scolded him at this time, and followed Bai Dong to the huge convoy at a trot, without bothering to greet Du Zhi Ganlong, rushed into the convoy and grabbed a person's hand and shouted: "Mr. Feng, why did you come to the Western Regions too?" ”
Feng Lack of Gold is now dressed as a business traveler. It is estimated that he was warmly entertained by the Otsutsuki brothers when he passed through the Hexi Corridor, and now he is wearing a round cloth hood with the characteristics of the Otsuki clan on his head, and two colorful pheasant feathers are inserted in his left ear, which looks very good. Ou Yeliang was also called by Bai Dong today, and at this moment, he was looking up and down at this peer with bad intentions, and his face was very unkind.
"General! Seeing that the general was unharmed, Feng was relieved. On that day, the Wei State changed greatly, the Pang family suffered a catastrophe, and Feng was a person close to the general, and he was almost implicated. Later, he was rescued by the people sent by Baizi and secretly went to the Qin State. It's just that at that time, the general had already arrived in the Western Regions, so he was not allowed to meet. Now that Feng Moutian is in charge of the Qin State's armament department, with the smelting methods passed down by the Feng family, it is no worse than those who deceive the world and steal their reputation."
Speaking of this, Feng Qianjin glanced at Ou Yeliang, and snorted slightly: "During these days, Qin Jun mobilized the strength of half of the country, plus the Bai family's funding, to build a fire in Liyang; Feng heard that it was for Wei Wushu to smelt armor, so what else is there to say? Even if we don't eat or drink, we can't let our old brothers suffer on the battlefield without armor and sharp weapons. By the way, come and see, the general, the vest and horse chain created by Bai Zi are all unprecedented, Feng has been a craftsman for half his life, and now he knows that the original war horse can also be armored, and the cavalry can also be used in this way, which is really wonderful and exciting. ”
Ou Yeliang pouted and looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back, and walked to Bai Dong and said faintly: "Xijun, isn't the Qiē armor quilt used by this iron-armored chain horse the Ou Yejia alone?" What is the Wind Beard series, when did his ancestors be able to pass the ancestors of the Ouye family? ”
Sure enough, the peers are enemies
Bai Dong wanted this effect, and said with a slight smile when he heard this: "Mr. Ouye doesn't know. Although Feng Lack of Gold and Mr. are both big palms sealed by the king, their functions are different; He is in charge of the refining furnace of the Liyang Ordnance Division, but Mr. is in charge of the Bai family. This time I want to become an ironclad chain horse, so I asked the king to transfer manpower, and asked him to work with Mr. to handle this matter, this time we first built 5,000 ironclad chain horses, 20,000 light vests, and I am afraid that it will increase tenfold in the future! I can't be busy with Mr. alone, so I implore the king to ask this Mr. Feng to share one or two. After this matter is completed, Mr. Feng still has to go back to Liyang, can't all the world's famous smelting masters be in my Western Regions, that is a matter of bullying the king. ”
"I see, Ouyeliang thank you Xijun for your trust, Xijun, please rest assured, Ouye's family will not disappoint you."
After listening to Bai Dong's words, Ou Yeliang suddenly made up his mind, and just sneered when he looked at the back of Feng Yuanjin. Now even Pang Juan, a famous general in the world, has gathered around Xijun, no matter how you look at it, his future exhibition will be for the descendants of the Feng family; The Ouyee family has been pressing the Feng family for a hundred years, and this feeling is very good, so it would be good to press it for another two or three hundred years.
Pang Juan is very stubborn, more stubborn than Pang Juan is actually these 30,000 Wei soldiers, a defeat will not make them doubt the phalanx of soldiers, they will even think that if there is no stable phalanx, the Wei army will only fail more miserably. After all, they have been selected to join the army since they were ten years old, and they have been trained every day for more than ten years to evolve in the phalanx, and all kinds of infantry soldiers are the methods of battle, and the phalanx of soldiers is the root of their life and pride! How can it be discarded lightly?
'The vested one is difficult to change, and this person's chronic illness is also', Bai Dong saw this, so the means he used were the most gentle and slow, like spring rain moisturizing things.
The warriors are singing now. After eating a full meal of autumn siong stew from their hometown, everyone began to miss their hometown, and after singing to the rise, they began to hug their heads and cry; Pang Juan didn't stop it, everyone needs to vent after losing the battle, if he can, he wants to cry bitterly, who dares to be worse than me?
It's still Bai Zi's heart, and I saw that everyone was almost crying. Sack after sack of hometown letters were delivered to me. It was written by my father. How many people are literate in these years when my wife wrote? This is all because the Bai family trading company spent a lot of money to find a reader to write on behalf of the writer, and each family letter is written in a touching way.
What is more gratifying than holding a letter from home and knowing that your parents, wife and children are well? With the proper arrangement of Xijun Baizi, the Wei soldiers in the Western Regions are not prisoners, let alone traitors, but under the leadership of the Xijun of Qin, they are the 'anti-Yi strategy' for the Zhou royal family, and they are for Huaxia to consolidate the country for a hundred years! In addition to all kinds of preferential treatment from the Wei State, their families will also get a ration and money from the Bai Zi of the Qin State, which is paid by the Bai Zi himself
"Thank you Zhou Tianzi! Thank you Xijun! ”
wiped away his tears, carefully put the family letter into his arms, and the 30,000 soldiers sang in unison - 'The country is broken by mountains and rivers. The grass and trees in the west of the region are deep, the peak fire is even May, the family letter is worth 10,000 gold, the black head is white, only to wait for the husband to return, woo woo woo'
Cry, the more sad and angry you cry, the more trouble Alibaba will have. The daughter-in-law in the family is going to be white-headed, which husband doesn't want to go back? If you want to go back, you have to teach these hateful Persians a hard lesson!
Good poetry, good poetry!
Bai Dong followed the army to sing his own plagiarized ~ 'new poem', and felt that he was really talented. Accidentally turned his eyes and saw Sun Bin and Pang Juan looking at him steadily. His face was full of admiration and envy, and he didn't feel very proud: "You only understand the importance of the gun, how do you know the power of the pen?" Let's learn slowly."
This time, the caravan brought 16,000 war horses from the Qin State, plus Bai Dong's acquisition from the Rong people in the Western Regions during this time, a total of 25,000 horses, plus the 8,000 horses allocated to Pang Juan before, 30,000 soldiers have already achieved that everyone has horses, and there are thousands more, which are used to send ordnance and food materials that are first-class and easy to use.
If it is an ordinary foot soldier must be ecstatic at this moment, a fool knows that it is much more comfortable to have a horse to walk than to march on two legs, but Wei Wu soldiers are different, some people have already discussed in private, Bai Zi sent so many war horses, is it not necessary to abandon the warrior phalanx? This can't be done, what is the warrior phalanx? That's our life, once we get on the field, it's still easy to use our own two legs, and it's unreliable to give our lives to animals
However, it is unusual for Bai Zi to send war horses, ordinary troops can not do everyone with armor, these war horses are full of armor, from the horse's head to the horse's legs to the horse's buttocks are tightly protected, some veterans walked over to see, the armor of the war horse is made of two layers of cooked cowhide, and the cowhide is inlaid with finely crafted copper leaves. There are five thousand war horses like this, and each one is taller than ordinary war horses, which seems to be extremely majestic.
Except for these 5,000 war horses, although the rest of the war horses are not fully armored, they are wrapped in leather armor in important positions such as the head and belly of the horse, and looking at the thickness of the leather armor, it is difficult for ordinary bows and crossbows to penetrate ten steps away. Is this worth it? If more than 20,000 horses ran and charged, how could the enemy resist? If we had these horses in the battle with the Persians that day, would our brothers have lost?
Also, what are those Yongyi spirit riders doing, and what are they tying to their horses? And what hangs on both sides of a horse's belly? Looking at the size of the style, it is just enough for two feet to step into, and if there is this thing to support the body, the cavalry can be calm on horseback, and it is not much different from being down-to-earth.
Some veterans of the Wei State who had been in a hundred battles gradually widened their eyes were people who had walked back and forth in the sea of corpses and blood, they were real experts, and they could see at a glance what the appearance of the stirrup saddle meant, and some of them had secretly clenched their fists
Bai Dong nodded with satisfaction, the Warring States Period is completely different from the later dynasties that abandoned the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, in this era, there is no shortage of horses in Huaxia, and which man who grew up in the land of the Four Wars can't ride a horse? It's just that in this era dominated by chariot foot soldiers, the cavalry is not the orthodox mainstream, and now he has finally thrown out the stirrup and saddle, these two things are like the most powerful catalysts, in a few years, Huaxia will enter the era of cavalry dominance!
The rising Lao Qin is no longer afraid of being learned by other countries to this kind of 'black technology', as long as the Western Regions is in the hands of Lao Qin for a day, the largest horse breeding land in China belongs to Lao Qin, and the largest cavalry army will also appear in the Great Qin Empire in the future! (To be continued!)
