In the early morning, it rained in Feng'an City, which swept away the heat of more than ten days, and the cool morning breeze blew into the house from the window lattice, like a pair of gentle little hands opened the Luo tent, the small fish was still asleep, and the round and fat ketone body was wrapped in a nightdress as thin as cicada wings, exuding bursts of temptation, which caused Yang Hao's throbbing, he didn't dare to stay longer, he hurriedly slid off the bed, picked up the double gun at the head of the bed and came to the back garden,

No matter how busy, how tired, Yang Hao has to practice a few knives and guns every morning, which has become an indispensable part of his life, in the past two years, Yang Hao often asks for advice from several gun masters in the armed arts academy and the army, marksmanship is "said" has grown a lot, the reason why it is "said" is because martial arts has not been tested in actual combat, it is really not easy to judge the advantages and disadvantages,

The last time he went to the battlefield and confronted the enemy was in Datongchuan, but that time it was only called a killing, there were many opponents, but the martial arts were very weak, and they could not be used as a basis for testing their martial arts.

In the past two years, he has indeed fought against many powerful enemies, and basically achieved good results, but looking at the whole, I always feel that those victories are a bit of a fluke, and my ultimate enemies are the Uighurs, who have 300,000 wolf troops, and there is no room for luck in fighting them.

Whenever he thought that he would eventually have to compete with the powerful Uighurs, Yang Hao felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

In the face of the 300,000 Heavenly Wolf Army, passive defense is definitely not a good way, attacking, only taking the initiative to attack, is the only chance to win, but it is not easy to attack, cumbersome and inefficient logistics is always a fatal weakness,

Yang Hao was tired of sweating, he stripped off his shirt, stuck the gun on the edge of the pond, scooped water to wash his face, and then sat on the edge of the pond panting, watching the ripples of raindrops falling in the pond water in a daze,

"The plan of the year lies in the spring, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the early morning cannot be so lazy." Lu Rui gently shook the folding fan and walked over with the maid Xiaochen, she was wearing a lilac floral pleated skirt, which looked graceful, and she had a unique charm in the morning drizzle, Xiaochen avoided it with interest,

Yang Hao beckoned to her, patted the lawn beside her, and motioned for her to sit down, the lawn was a little wet after the new rain, Lu Rui smiled lightly and refused to walk over, she shook her fan and walked around Yang Hao, suddenly stopped behind him, and asked in surprise: "How can there be a scar on your back, when was the injury?" ”

Yang Hao sneered: "I usually hurt you so much, this injury has been more than half a year, and you don't even know it." Lu Rui asked in surprise: "Yes, oops, it's my fault, I didn't find out when I was with you twice, I really should have been beaten." Yang Hao smiled unconsciously, pulled Lu Rui's skirt and said: "Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, let me say what is good about you, all your cleverness is used to play with me, blame me for snubbing you, just say it, it's my fault anyway." ”

Lu Rui said: "How dare I complain about you, you can still see you twice in half a year, which is much worse than some people who can't see each other in a year." ”

Yang Hao said: "Nonsense again, how can there be a year when you can't see each other, you say, who is this." ”

Lu Rui pursed his lips and said, "Then I don't dare to say." Just paused, and couldn't help but say: "Isn't that the case for Cai Lan's family, Wang Qun hasn't returned to Feng'an for almost ten months." ”

Yang Hao was stunned, and then sneered: "What benefits did Cai Lan give you, you have to speak for her." Lu Rui's heart fluttered, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, these words were indeed Cai Lan begging herself, at first Lu Rui didn't want to help her, she still understood Yang Hao's temper, this kind of thing is said in vain, and if you don't get it, you have to touch your nose, but Cai Lan couldn't bear to run home again and again, so she reluctantly agreed,

Yang Hao snorted coldly, got up and said: "I told you a long time ago, telling you not to interfere in political affairs, you always don't listen, if she can't stand the pain of lovesickness, just persuade Wang Qun to resign, I will definitely let him go." ”

Lu Rui smiled and said: "You are too careful, I just said it in passing, and I have no other intentions." Seeing Lu Rui's panicked appearance, Yang Hao's heart softened: "It's really just a matter of saying it in passing." Lu Rui nodded hurriedly, and Yang Hao warned softly: "Don't do this next time." Lu Rui nodded obediently,

Xiaochen didn't go far, she stood in the pavilion to hide from the rain, Lu Rui told her in advance, if she found Yang Hao angry and scolding, let her stir it up, Xiaochen found that Yang Hao suddenly stood up, seemed to be very unhappy, so he hurriedly ran over with an umbrella and said: "It's raining heavily, madam, pay attention to your body." ”

After Lu Rui was lightly scolded by Yang Hao, he was whispering sweetly to him, when he was hit by Xiaochen like this, he was suddenly annoyed, and stomped his feet and scolded: "Who asked you to come over, I want you to take care of it in the rain." ”

Yang Hao laughed and said to Xiao Chen, who was full of innocence: "Don't listen to her, it's easy to catch a cold in the rain, take your wife back." Xiaochen said: "Master, you should go back early, it's not a joke to be drenched in the rain." ”

Yang Hao nodded gratefully, Lu Rui snatched Xiaochen's umbrella with his hand, and gave her a blank look: "Your lord's iron King Kong, how can you get sick if you get drenched in a little rain, crow's mouth." Looking at the figures of the two of them one after the other, gradually moving away, Yang Hao smiled bitterly, shook his head, picked up the two guns and walked in the direction of the guest house,

After taking a hot bath, Yang Hao was having breakfast, Mu Tong led two pawns and walked in with an iron box, the pawns withdrew after putting down the iron box, Mu Tong personally untied the rope on the iron box, untied a key from his belt and opened a large copper lock on the box,

"Squeak" The lid of the box opened, Mu Tong first took out a blanket and draped it on his body, the blanket was earthy yellow on the outside, white on the inside, and a layer of waterproof leather in the middle, this blanket can be used as a bedding or as a warm coat, because there is waterproof leather, it can also be used as a raincoat in rainy and snowy weather.

This is a kind of multi-purpose military blanket specially developed by Fengzhou blanket factory for the Xining Army, this is the first batch of samples, Yang Hao ate the Hu cake in his hand in two bites, patted off the sesame crumbs on his hands, and wrapped the blanket around himself, the blanket is thick, dense, soft, warm and waterproof are good,

"This blanket is worth a lot." Yang Hao wants to test Mu Tong,

"The cost is three taels and three dollars of silver." Mu Tong replied without thinking,

"What about the boots and knee pads."

"Nine dollars and eight cents."

"Where's the rice grain bag?"

"A penny."

"Neck scarves, ear protection, masks, gloves."

"Two dollars for the neck, sixty dollars for ear protection, eighteen dollars for masks, and seven dollars for gloves."

Mu Tong's answer was unusually simple, and finally he added: "A full set of equipment is worth five taels or three dollars." ”

Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction and asked Mu Tong, "Do you think it's worth it for us to spend so much money on these things." ”

Mu Tong replied: "These things are enough to boost morale, and my subordinates think they are very worthwhile." Yang Hao took off his official robe and said, "Come, help me put all these on." Mu Tong smiled: "It's hot, adults are careful of heat stroke." Yang Hao scolded: "That's as exaggerated as you said, it really made me suffer from heat stroke, and I also admit it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to withstand the wind and cold on the grassland." ”

With the help of Mu Tong, Yang Hao quickly put on full equipment, his head, face, hands, feet, knees and other prominent parts that are prone to frostbite were all protected, he put the blanket on his body, buckled the strap, and became a cloak coat.

Mu Tong praised: "With this thing, the brothers will not freeze even if they lie in the snow nest, this is really a genius work." Yang Hao waved his hand, smiled modestly, and said to Mu Tong: "Take it to General Ling, and let him find a team of soldiers to wear it to the field to test it to see if there is anything that needs to be improved, whether it is good or bad is up to the brothers themselves." ”

This is Yang Hao learned from the siege of Lanzhou at the beginning of the year when the army had a serious frostbite incident made a decision, for the individual soldier to create a special cold-proof clothing, by the Fengzhou blanket factory to undertake the specific undertaking, individual soldier winter clothing is only Yang Hao to build a new type of armament one aspect, to build a new type of armament Another important goal is to improve the supply of soldiers' rations, soldiers and horses do not move grain and grass first, no matter what kind of war, with whom to fight, eating is always the first to solve, people want to eat, horses to eat, indispensable,

Transporting grain and grass to the front line with bulky mules and horses is slow, attritional, and unsafe, and although transferring the huge logistics to individual soldiers can solve some of the problems, it is at the expense of the army's combat effectiveness, and the stupidity outweighs the losses, and there is only one way, which is to simplify the huge and complex logistics to the extreme.

In terms of food, the traditional practice is to transport rice and grain to the front, and then make a fire to cook, if the transportation of rice and grain is changed to carry cooked food, the size of the baggage team can be reduced, so as to improve the efficiency of logistics, and further, if the soldiers themselves can carry their own cooked food, the size of the baggage team can be further reduced.

And if you can choose a kind of cold-resistant and hunger-resistant horse, then the problem of horse feed can also be easily solved, such an army, without any logistical support, can be thousands of miles away from the base, fighting for several months, with them, why not sweep those opponents on the grassland,

Yang Hao vaguely remembered Genghis Khan's army, his army had done this, which was also an important weight for him to sweep across the Eurasian continent, aren't the Mughurs in Murowei the ancestors of the Mongols, Yang Hao's heart was lit with hope, he wanted to find everything he needed from the Mughuls,

He gave this task to Wan Duan and Yao Guang, one of them was the governor of the Uighurs, the other was the governor of the Khitan, part of the Murowei tribe belonged to the Uighurs, and the other part belonged to the Khitan, and the two of them continuously fed back the corresponding information, and the result made Yang Hao very excited, the Mongols could find the Mongols in the Mughuls,

The brave hunters, often in groups of seven or eight people, hunted away from the tribe for months in the uninhabited northern grasslands, and the means they used to support the adventure activities were exactly what Yang Hao needed, they chopped and fried the beef cattle, mixed with a special spice and put them into a skin made of cow stomachs, the hunters each carried a skin bag, the minced meat in the skin bag was enough for them to eat for a month, sometimes in the case of their extreme lack of water, the hunters would use a knife to cut the blood vessels on the horse's neck, drink horse blood to sustain life,

These hunters often carried three or four horses, and they were so skilled at riding that they could not dismount for a month in a row in order to travel, and even sleep on horseback,

Yang Hao was full of interest in all of this, and he instructed Wan Duan and Yao Guang to use various means to hire a group of experienced hunters to come to Fengzhou to guide the construction of a new army like them that did not need huge logistics.
