After the meeting, Qin Dong left a few officers to make some arrangements, after this period of recuperation, the wounded soldiers have basically recovered, and now the maximum strength available to the cavalry has reached four hundred and thirty people, Qin Dong let three cavalry hundred-man teams take turns to be on duty around the camp, and the cavalry without vigilance tasks must strengthen training, and their own guards will stay in the camp while training and guarding, and they have not stopped training on the way here, not to mention that they can not slack off now that they have arrived at their destination, The camp had to be secured until the fortifications were built, and the captain of the cavalry, Zheli, sent scouts to reconnoiter the defenders and barbarian armies of the Eastern Roman Empire on the hills to the south and southwest.

Su He and others were quite puzzled by Qin Dong's large-scale construction of fortifications in the camp, the Huns never built fortifications around the camp, if they built fortifications every time they fought during the war, the pressure on logistics was very great, and the army of the Roman Empire was like this, and it was necessary to camp to build fortifications after marching until evening every day, which also caused huge logistical pressure on the Roman Empire army. Qin Dong also didn't want to build fortifications, if it was to attack other forces, he would never build any fortifications, but this was his lair, and he couldn't afford to lose it, so he had to build a complete fortification to feel at ease.

The next day, Qin Dong inspected the camp, and now the family members still live with the soldiers for the time being, but after the bridge over the river is completed, the family members will all go to the north bank of the Maricha River to set up a new camp, where they can graze, and only after Qin Dong occupies the Great Wall on the Lila Mountains in the south and southwest can they return to the pastures on the south bank of the river to graze.

In the camp, Qin Dong was walking while thinking about how to take the Great Wall on the Lila Mountain and the Rhodope Mountain and occupy there, only by occupying the Great Wall on the two mountain ranges, his camp in this basin could be completely safe, otherwise he would have to worry about those Germanic barbarian cavalry coming to plunder, you must know that there were several centurions with men and horses stationed in this area before, which can show that those Germanic barbarian cavalry are definitely not easy to mess with, these barbarians are like rogues, they have no property, Living in the forest and the mountains is what they have long been accustomed to, and this generation only has these two mountain ranges, the Lila and Rhodope Mountains have become their ideal home, they will never allow their homes to be invaded by the Huns, as the so-called side of the couch can not allow others to snore? Therefore, Qin Dong knew that he would have to fight these Germanic barbarians sooner or later, and before the decisive battle, he had to take precautions and prepare everything that should be prepared.

To capture the Great Wall on the Lila Mountains and the Rhodope Mountains, it is necessary to have infantry, and the cavalry cannot fight in the mountains at all, so the three hundred infantry of Ma Li became the main force of the battle, but these three hundred people seem to be too few, it seems that they have to find a way to expand the number of infantry, Qin Dong does not plan to establish heavy infantry, this class of troops is purely a branch of money to burn, what he wants to establish is light infantry, the role of light infantry is to attack the city and seize the wall, and it is enough to have cavalry in the field, and it is not possible to play field warfare with light infantry in Europe in this era, The heavy infantry phalanx of the Roman Empire was the equivalent of field tanks in this era, and using light infantry to fight them was completely seeking death.

Although the Roman Empire used heavy infantry as the main combat arms, there was no shortage of auxiliary arms such as light infantry and cavalry, so how could the city be attacked without light infantry? Siege with heavy infantry? It is estimated that the heavy infantry was not shot by the enemy defending the city, and before they could climb the city walls, they were exhausted to death by the heavy armor on their bodies.

Light infantry has few requirements for equipment and low cost, as long as they are strictly trained to have enough combat power to attack cities and fortresses, and in field battles, they can also follow the cavalry to do some work such as capturing prisoners and cleaning the battlefield.

When he was thinking about where to find the light infantry soldiers, Qin Dong saw that there were old people and women in the camp shearing lambs, it was already the end of March, close to April, the temperature gradually began to rise, and the summer heat was coming soon, so it was very necessary to shear the lambs, otherwise the wool on the lambs would be too thick and they would be too hot to bear.

I saw that those old people and women were very skillful in shearing the wool and discarding it on the ground Qin Dong was stunned, why is the wool of this era useless, can it be discarded casually? You must know that this wool is a good thing, if it is spun into wool and woven into a woolen sweater, it is very warm to wear in winter, and if you can't wear it, you can sell it to the Roman Empire, and it can definitely make money.

When Qin Dong saw it, he immediately walked over and asked, "Why did this wool just throw it on the ground?" ”

Several old men and women who were shearing sheep saw that it was Qin Dong, their faces were a little awe-inspiring, and an old man stood up and said, "My lord, wool is useless, we discard it every time we finish shearing!" ”

Sure enough, the nomads of this era did not use wool at all, but only clothes sewn from sheepskin and animal skins, and also wore clothes made of linen in the summer.

After understanding, Qin Dong nodded and said: "Don't discard the sheared wool in the future, put it in a basket, and after all the lambs have finished shearing the wool, take the wool to the river to clean it, and then dry it, I will be useful!" ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Thinking that wool can be spun into wool thread, Qin Dong immediately rushed back to the big tent, took out a reed pen and parchment paper and began to draw, this era of Europe has not yet invented the quill pen, generally use the reed pen to write, the quill pen was invented need to wait for more than two hundred years, that is, about 700 AD, and China as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began to use the brush.

The reed pen is a writing instrument made of reeds, which is an ancient tool of Western calligraphy and has a very long history. Cuneiform writing as far back as the Mesopotamian era was written on clay with a reed pen. Later, the Sumei people improved the reed pen, sharpening the end of the writing with three large bevels, and the simple reed pen was so large that it was formed, which was the predecessor of the quill pen and fountain pen in later generations.

Qin Dong painted a picture of the simplest spinning wheel, this kind of hand-cranked horizontal spinning wheel appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period in China, and at this time Europe has already appeared spinning wheels for spinning, but the Huns do not know the spinning wheel, will not use the spinning wheel to spin, the Huns have been wearing animal skins and sheepskins, cowhides, these leather that has not undergone special treatment is worn on the body although warm, but it is really uncomfortable, if the wool can be spun into yarn and woven into woolen sweaters, the life of the nomads is also an improvement, In addition to being spun into wool sweaters, wool can also be spun into blankets and scarves, all of which can increase income.

Soon, Qin Dong drew a picture of a spinning wheel hand-cranked spinning wheel, which is the most primitive spinning wheel, which only needs one person to operate, and the main mechanism of the hand-cranked spinning wheel is a wooden frame, a spindle, a rope wheel and a handle. The common hand spinning wheel is the spindle on the left, the rope wheel and handle on the right, and the middle with a rope string transmission called horizontal. Another hand-spinning wheel is to install the spindle on the rope wheel, which is also driven by rope strings and called vertical. The horizontal type is operated by one person, while the vertical type requires two people to work together at the same time. This kind of spinning wheel appeared as early as the Han Dynasty, and the spinning wheel also appeared in Europe during this period.

The reason why Qin Dong can draw this spinning wheel is because its structure is very simple, I have seen it a few times before and remembered it, but only the spinning wheel is not enough, there must also be a loom, Qin Dong does not know what the structure of the loom is, self-heating can not be drawn, but he has a way, those tailors must know what the European loom looks like in this era, this simple loom is available in many families, they must know how to draw it, so Qin Dong quickly called the tailor master Blake and Wang Liu.

Blake really knew how to make looms in Europe in this era, and quickly drew the structural drawing, Qin Dong handed two pieces of parchment to Wang Liudao: "Sixth uncle, you take these two pieces of parchment to the master carpenter Habak, and ask him to arrange for people to make spinning wheels and looms by hand, make more of them, let each household have one, and let those tailors teach the herdsmen to use these two kinds of machines!" ”

Wang Liu didn't ask the reason, and immediately agreed: "Yes, my lord!" ”
