Zhu Youcheng tried to recall how the icebreaker rescue ship operated in his previous life, and it seemed to be no different from the current practice, except that the manpower was changed to the power of the machine. , borrowing from the advanced methods of later generations is no fun, how to dig out the ship?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he shouted, "I thought of it." ”

He burst out laughing.

"What comes to mind?" It's a matter of life and death, Wang Xiaxe asked impatiently.

"Small boats dig, big boats push. The boat has a shallow waterline, and the part that is frozen is relatively small, so the whole boat is dug out of the ice and then pushed into the sea from the ice. The draft of the big ship is deep, and we dig around the boat, digging and pushing, so that the boat slowly moves into the sea. Although this method is stupid, we have a large number of soldiers, more than 8,000 soldiers, and Jiannu will not arrive until twenty days later, which is more than enough time. ”

After all, Wang Xiaxe was the commander of the naval army, and he was thorough at one point, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to act accordingly.

Zhu Youcheng looked at the hard work of the soldiers, sighed, and said, "The soldiers are hard, don't you have gloves?" Keep them warm, freeze off their fingers, and their combat power will be greatly reduced. ”

"Gloves? What is it? "Wang Xiaxe is very strange.

Zhu Youcheng's expression was stranger than him: "Is it just something that is put on your hand to keep warm?" Haven't you seen it? ”

Wang Xiaxe shook his head, indicating that he really hadn't seen it. Zhu Youcheng recalled that when he visited the armory, he really hadn't seen this kind of thing.

In fact, gloves have a long history. During the Warring States Period, leather gloves appeared in the Chu State, where the climate was not particularly cold. Now thousands of years have passed, science and technology do not know how many generations have been exhibited, and products do not know how many times they have prospered, but in the Ming Dynasty Liaodong, where water has become ice, I can't find a pair of gloves. Daming's love for soldiers is not as good as that of Jiannu bandits. Jiannu's horseshoe sleeves were flipped down to cover his hands. There is a certain ability to keep warm; And the Ming soldiers could only bear the cold. Some people speculate that the Daming field battle is not as good as Jiannu, which is also one of the reasons.

Zhu Youcheng took out a pen, drew a sketch of the glove, handed it to Wang Xiaxe and said, "Lord Wang, there is no need for so many people on the ice anyway. You send out a thousand men and make gloves in this way. When it is done, keep the soldiers warm. The evacuated people have discarded cloth, clothes, and bedding in their homes, so make that one. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng suddenly remembered that although his team was equipped with gloves, they were gloves for work, not warm gloves for winter. Fearing that the soldiers also had frostbite on their hands, he hurried back.

listened to Ke Qingqing's report. Zhu Youcheng went to Da'an. Why do you ask Ke Qingqing? Because all the wounded had to be treated by Jinyi Guard's medical care for thousands of households, she had the most detailed numbers there.

Ke Qingqing flipped through the records and found that there were not a few soldiers in Jinyiwei who had frostbitten feet, but very few who had frostbitten hands. Moreover, the frostbite of all the soldiers was not strict, only red, swollen and itchy, and there was no necrosis and blackening, let alone a record of freezing off their fingers and toes.

Zhu Youcheng was a little strange, because Jinyiwei was the same as the water army of Juehua Island. They all worked overnight, and it was so cold at night. Why is Jinyiwei's frostbite not strict?

Ke Qingqing pointed to his nose and smiled: "This is all thanks to General Ben's meticulousness." As soon as I arrived at Juehua Island, I felt that the island was very cold, so I asked the medical team to light a bonfire every few hundred steps at the place where Jinyiwei worked, so that the soldiers could come and roast the fire when it was too cold. ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded approvingly. Then the structure of the gloves was drawn, and Ke Qingqing led hundreds of medical households to rush to make cotton gloves overnight, completely solving the problem of keeping Jinyiwei's hands warm. After that, Zhu Youcheng wrote another piece of music, asking the emperor to list cotton gloves as military supplies. Equipped with soldiers north of the Yangtze River. When he was ready to return to Beijing, he handed it over.

As time passed, the defenders on Juehua Island dug up more and more boats, and the Great Wall built by the Jinyi guards became longer and longer.

On January 15, the fifth year of the Great Tomorrow's Apocalypse, on the day of the Yuanxiao Festival, the Great Wall was officially completed. This wall stretched in front of the island, blocking the way of Jiannu's advance. The wall was not high, less than five feet, but it was very thick, and the battlements were repaired, and the gates were left. The city gate was built by order of Zhu Youcheng, because people always have inertial thinking, robbers like to jump out of the window or break in, there is no window on the city wall, then Jiannu will definitely storm the city gate. Guarding here can kill and injure Jiannu more effectively. The Jinyi guard demolished the people's doors and nailed several doors together to become the gates of the city. A low city was also built behind the gate, which could weaken their advance even if the enemy broke the gate, so as to buy time for reinforcements.

Looking at this strong city wall, Zhu Youcheng was a little proud and a little funny, because they didn't come to fight Jiannu this time, but to withdraw their troops, and they didn't even fight with Jiannu. Thinking about Nu'er Haqi's painstaking efforts to break down the wall, all he could see was the burning grain and the empty island, would he be so angry that he burst his veins? Zhu Youcheng has a little expectation.

Nearly two-thirds of the ships were also rescued from Juehua Island, and Wang Xiaxe ordered people to use tung oil to maintain them to ensure that the ships would not come out to cause chaos when they were loaded.

Juehua Island is fighting hard, and Jiannu is not resting.

As early as November, Nuer Haqi began to dispatch troops and issued an order of "one out of ten".

Huang Taiji was a little strange and asked, "Father Khan, why isn't it one of six or three?" We're going to attack the city, and we can't take the city if there are fewer people. ”

Nu'er Ha Qi glared at his son and said, "Who said we were going to attack the city?" We're here to grab food. This winter is particularly cold, food is insufficient, and people have begun to kill and eat meat. Although the Han dog can't be killed, the human flesh is sour and not delicious. Besides, everyone has been killed, who will help us work? Therefore, it is necessary to do a big ticket and grab enough food for the winter. Military rations are needed for marching and fighting, and if you bring too many soldiers, what about the grain and grass on the road? ”

Huang Taiji said in his heart: "I have long advised you to kill less Han barbarians. Although the Han barbarians are more handsome than us, standing beside them, it seems that we mites are particularly ugly, so they are particularly annoying. But they are also a rare labor force. They will sow wheat, they will cut wheat, and their women will provide us with sexual pleasure and make our lives comfortable. But you just didn't listen, killed batch after batch, and now you finally know that food is not easy to handle, right? ”

He kept slandering in his heart, but he asked, "Where are you going to grab food?" ”

Nu'er Ha Chi tapped his hand on the map and said, "Here." ”

Huang Taiji followed his finger and looked, it turned out to be Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji was taken aback and said: "Ama, that is the first large city of the Guanning Jin defense line cultivated by the Han barbarian descendants Chengzong, the city is high and deep, and it is very difficult to fight." ”

Because he was so surprised, he forgot to shout "Father Khan", but directly called "Amma".

"The Han barbarian descendant Chengzong is a pig, you are actually afraid of a pig, you really don't look like the descendant of Ai Xinjueluo."

The other sons of Nu'er Ha Chi all laughed, they had already complained about the timidity of the eighth elder brother Huang Taiji, and now that their father pointed it out, of course they could laugh enough.

Huang Taiji's face was as red as if he had been smeared with pig's blood, Rao was like this, he still insisted: "With the annual investment of three million taels of silver from the Barbarian Emperor, is it useless for Sun Manzi to build the city?" ”

"It's useful, but it's not for the Ming Dynasty, it's useful for our Qing Dynasty. Originally, it would have been very difficult for us to attack Shanhaiguan, because there were no supplies along the way. But now, Sun Manzi's Guanning Jin defense line is like a string of sugar gourds. Let's eat the sugar gourd of Jinzhou first to get some supplies, and then eat the sugar gourd of Ningyuan and get some supplies, and then we can attack Shanhaiguan. I haven't heard of any of the defensive fronts that are built vertically. Isn't that giving us directions? ”

"Sun Manzi once said that if you attack Jinzhou, Ning Yuan will come to the rescue, and if you attack Ningyuan, Jinzhou will come to the rescue. If the two cities are attacked from the north and south, won't our army be in danger? ”

"The army of the barbarians has been beaten by us, where dare they go out of the city to fight with us in the field. You wait and see, when Lao Tzu fought Jinzhou, Ning Yuancheng only dared to watch obediently, and did not dare to go out of the city to rescue. Actually, I would like him to come to the rescue, so that we can surround the point and send reinforcements to destroy the living forces of the barbarian court. (To be continued!)
