"That's it, I promised them before Your Majesty gave you the marriage. I don't want to be a dishonest person, princess, you decide. ”

After throwing a thorny problem to the princess, Yang Chao ran to the barracks.

He told Zhu Yujiao about his previous promise to take Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun as concubines, and let Zhu Yujiao decide for herself.

In fact, his tone is very resolute, that is, he must take a concubine no matter what, otherwise he is a dishonest person, which is tantamount to forcing the princess, if the princess does not agree, then it is trapped in Yang Chao's distrust.

Yesterday was only a one-night husband and wife, and today they are going to take a concubine, even if they are placed in ordinary people's homes, they can't help but be affectionate, not to mention that if they are put on the royal princess, Zhu Yujiao can't think too much, so Yang Chao felt a little difficult to face her, and she wanted to run to the barracks.

Recruits in the barracks have completed basic training.

Now they are all undergoing further martial arts training.

The spearmen were the most numerous, 80,000 of the 100,000 were spearmen, 9,000 birdmen, 3,000 archers and 3,000 crossbowmen, the fastest of the 3,000 horsemen became cavalrymen, and the artillery was expanded to 3,000 men.

Training does not need Yang Chao's supervision, Yang Chao is just wandering around the barracks, many male veterans are training the military formation, Zhao Kang is practicing horse warfare with his own soldiers, many male military formations needless to say, they are already very proficient, there is no problem in killing the enemy, Zhao Kang's personal soldiers are also presentable, although the number is only five hundred, but everyone can ride a horse, and can make a simple chopping action, as for riding and shooting, it can't be done, shooting the target on a running horse, it is not a few months to do it.

After practicing horseback riding and slashing and formation with his own soldiers for half a day on the school field, Yang Chao then went to the stable.

The stables are the last to be built in the large school yard, which occupies a corner of the school yard and does not cover these buildings. Yang Chao really didn't know where to put the six thousand horses.

Now it's more than 6,000 horses.

The vast majority of these war horses captured from Haizhou were mares, and I heard that the Mongols went on an expedition. All like to use mares because when there are no supplies. You can drink mare's milk to satisfy your hunger, I don't know if the Manchurians have learned this hand, anyway, of the six thousand horses captured by Yang Chao, nearly 5,000 are mares, and as for the stallions, they are all depressed, and they are all castrated.

So reproduction has always been a problem, and the solution to this problem is through the emperor after Yang Chao came back this time. More than 300 stallions were transferred from Xiaolingwei.

To the east of Xiaolingwei, there is a large open slope, when Zhu Yuanzhang was in the time, he built a horse farm there, and the place name of that place is called a horse farm at this time.

Where there are not only the military horses of the Ming Dynasty, but also a large number of people who raise horses for a living, where did Yang Chao's grooms come from before.

Xiaolingwei's stallion is still good, in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, most of the famous horses paid tribute by Fanbang were bred here. Although it is a little slack now, most of the horses of Xiaolingwei are the honor guards of the mausoleum guards, but a few hundred horses with good physique are selected. Being a stallion is still not a problem.

The reproductive ability of Mongolian horses is very strong, and this kind of horse breed with a small physique and not being carefully fed, in terms of quality, actually beats those so-called famous horses.

Nearly a thousand horses are already pregnant, and in a few months the first pony will be born.

Riding a horse around the barracks at will.

Suddenly hearing a few screams, Yang Chao couldn't help but be curious.

This is the barracks of the logistics department, and most of the scholars are here.

Following the sound and walking in, I found that it was the medical team where Wuyi was.

Wuyi now also has the title of a thousand generals, and Yang Chao is now not short of official titles. Therefore, basically all necessary are added a hat.

Wu Yi has a medical team of nearly 300 people under his command.

When Yang Chao entered, it was Wuyi who was pricking a soldier.

The soldier was grimacing. In front of him was a table with a porcelain bowl on it.

There was a bowl of blood at the bottom of the bowl. And Wu Yi was looking down.

"Alright, another A-type! You're my man—"

Wu Yigang looked up at the soldier excitedly, but found Yang Chao and couldn't help but salute.

"Excuse me. What's going on? ”

"Lord Qiyu, his subordinates are testing the bloodiness of this soldier, he is a type A!"

Yang Chao nodded, only then did he understand.

Blood transfusions can save lives.

Yang Chao once transfused blood to save the names of Zhang Dian and Li Liang, so how could he forget to promote blood transfusion technology in the army.

It's just that determining blood type is a hassle, and it is difficult to do without test strips.

Yang Chao just told Wuyi that there are four blood types in people, and in order to facilitate the understanding of Wuyi, he divided them into type A (type O), type B (type A), type C (type B) and type D (type AB).

Obviously, Type A is the universal blood transfusion, and Type D is the universal blood recipient, and Yang Chao told Wuyi about this result.

So Wuyi's job is to find out the four blood types, and the way he found is to drop blood to see if it can be fused.

This method is also scientific, first find a person with a fixed blood type, take more blood from him, and then drip blood from other people, if this blood can be integrated into the test blood, then it means that it is the same blood type, if not, it means that it is a different blood type.

This is the phenomenon of hemolysis, where different types of blood are mixed, and then hemolysis occurs, and the antigen excretes and engulfs the foreign blood, and the appearance looks like yellow sediment and the like, so it is easy to judge.

However, Yang Chao only knew that he was type O blood, and this method was very troublesome, and a lot of blood had to be used as a test, so in the end, he decided to only pick out type O blood from the army, after all, this blood type can basically be used as universal blood to transfuse, as long as it does not encounter a chance of one in tens of thousands, it can save people.

Wu Yi has been obsessed with this kind of experiment in the past few months, and has picked out more than three hundred soldiers with type O blood, and has been recognized by Yang Chao, these soldiers have all been handed over to him as medical soldiers, and Wu Yi obviously intends to treat these soldiers as his apprentices, because he only selects those who are literate, otherwise with the large proportion of type O blood, it is not unusual to pick out 10,000 out of 100,000 people.

Fortunately, Yang Chao recruited more than 1,000 scholars, otherwise it would not be enough for him to pick alone.

Three hundred medical soldiers, three hundred blood type O who can save people, should be enough to deal with a big war.

Not insured, though.

"Martial arts, you don't need to see it yourself, didn't you bring so many apprentices. Find a way to mark all the other blood types, and in the future, each soldier's waist card will indicate the blood type. In case there are too many injuries in the future, the same blood type is the best blood transfusion. ”

"The subordinates understand. It's just that the soldiers are not very cooperative. ”

"Rest assured, this is a military order. You tell Huang Fengfu, tell him what I said, and let him have the power to cooperate with you. Which soldier didn't cooperate, and directly asked Lu Mo to pull out and beat the military stick! ”

Walking out of the martial arts room, there is a playground outside, and in the playground where Zuo Si used to be a vegetable patch, there is still a piece of green.

It's not that Li Fu is allowed to grow vegetables again, but he just retains the most central bit of land as a green appreciation.

However, the green at this time is not vegetables, but seedlings.

Li Fu happened to be busy on it, and there was also an acquaintance who helped him, Chen Baodi, an officer under Yang Chao in the past.

Chen Baodi's family also makes a garden, but instead of growing vegetables, it raises flowers.

Yang Chao had already inquired about the situation of the Chen family.

Chen Baodi's father is only one of his sons, but this is not the reason why Chen Baodi refused to go north with Yang Chao at that time, if he is not willing to fight, then he should not come to be a soldier.

The real reason is that the Chen family is very strange, especially Chen Bao's brother, his father, who is known as Chen Cai, and is nicknamed to make money.

This person is indeed good at making money, he is a small military household, but by renting the land of 100 households to raise flowers, his family's wealth is more than that of 100 households.

And this person wanted to take advantage of it when he saw it, and when he saw several neighbors send his son to the barracks, he thought it was a bargain, so he sent his son to Yang Chao's army to eat.

Obviously, it is impossible for such a person to let his son go to the battlefield, so when Yang Chao went north, Chen Baodi, who had already done the banner, pretended to be sick and quietly went home, he was the only officer who refused to go north at that time, and he was a core officer.

I don't know if Chen Baodi regrets seeing that Lu Mo and they have all become deputy generals.

Yang Chao didn't know if he didn't regret it, Yang Chao only knew that the soldiers felt that he should regret it, so when Chen Baodi stayed in the barracks and used the excuse of helping Li Fu raise flowers, Yang Chao did not refuse, he also wanted the soldiers to watch the fate of such a person who gave up following him.

However, Chen Baodi is a good hand at raising flowers, and with his help, Li Fu finally solved the technology of raising flowers in greenhouses.

Last year, a shed of flowers made him earn more than 2,000 taels of silver, and the cost was recovered in just one winter, which greatly increased Li Fu's confidence, and he has begun to consider building a greenhouse on the ten acres of land in the main barracks.

There is a cloud in the Song poem: "A flower for a noble idler, and a half-year grain for a poor person".

In the Ming Dynasty, like the Song Dynasty, not only women liked flowers, but even men wore flowers on their heads as a fashion, so the flower market was very good, but in winter, the production of flowers was scarce, and it was not uncommon for a flower to buy a tael of silver.

Last winter, Li Fu made a lot of money by spending an average of one or two pieces of silver.

That's why I'm thinking about expanding the scale, and only he can grow flowers in the barracks, so he dares to build a greenhouse with confidence, and replace it with someone else, no one is willing to put more than two thousand taels of silver in the greenhouse, even if he is looking for someone to watch, he is definitely not at ease, after all, the price of the tile board makes him very thief.

But in Yang Chao's barracks, it is estimated that no thief dares to worry about it.

For this reason, Chen Baodi is very red-eyed, but unfortunately his flower garden does not dare to play in the greenhouse.

It was getting late, but Yang Chao didn't want to go back, and planned to give the princess a few more days to think about it.

After all, it is not easy for a princess to accept a concubine, and the concubine has no right to take a concubine.

Just look at Chen Shimei, if you want to be a princess, you can only give up the wife of the chaff, and the concubine must serve the princess wholeheartedly. (To be continued)
