After arranging the affairs of his family, not only did Qin Dong have one less thing in his heart, but several other officers were also relieved, after all, even animals have family affection, and they all know to protect their spouses and children, not to mention people, although the Huns are nomads, they are also bound by family affection, and if they don't take over the families of those soldiers, they will not be able to really settle down.

After talking about this matter, Qin Dong began to talk about the main topic of this meeting, "This time everyone was called over because of the construction of bridges, the camps on the north and south banks of Maricha cannot but be connected, from this side to the north of the river, or from the north to the south has to go a long way, this is not good, so it is necessary to build a bridge, the width of the river is not very long, but it is not short, how to build it?" Tell me about it! ”

Su He, Muren, and Tuolong are all coarse, it's okay to let them fight, if you want to talk about these things, they really don't have any ideas, Liu San saw that everyone else didn't speak, beware of Qin Dong losing his temper after the cold scene, so he said first: "Young master, everyone, I think that a pontoon bridge should be built, with our current conditions, we can only build a pontoon bridge, and it is fast and safe to build a pontoon bridge!" ”

Qin Dong asked, "Pontoon?" What is a pontoon? ”

Liu San explained: "Young master, it is to build some wooden boats side by side on the river, connect them with wooden planks on the wooden boats, and then drive some thick wooden piles as support points to prevent the pontoon bridge from being washed away by the current, so that no matter how high the water level of the river is, the pontoon bridge will not be submerged, and people and livestock can walk back and forth on it!" It's just that shipbuilding requires tung oil, ropes, and nails."

"You can send someone to Cedika to buy tung oil, the last time I passed by, I seemed to see a shop selling tung oil, as for Tieding, we have so many blacksmiths here, and a lot of pig iron, are you afraid that there are no iron nails?" After Qin Dong finished speaking, he looked at the master carpenter Habak and asked, "Master, are any of you carpenters who can build ships?" ”

These craftsmen were forcibly kidnapped, and they were very angry and uncooperative at the beginning, but after this period of time, these craftsmen also found that these Huns were actually not difficult to get along with, and when they were not at war with these Huns, their lives were very stable and quiet, and the Huns were also good to them, not only taking care of their lives, but also giving them wages, which was a lot, and many craftsmen had no complaints, and were willing to help Qin Dong do things.

Seeing Qin Dong ask, Master Carpenter Habak immediately stood up and bent down and replied, "My lord, almost half of our fifty carpenters know how to build ships, so you don't have to worry about it, my lord." I also looked at the width of this river, about 200 Luo feet, only need to build 100 boats, at most 120 boats, you can build a pontoon bridge, as long as there is wood, each of us can build a wooden boat with a length of five Luo steps and a width of two Luo steps per day, so that it only takes a week to complete the pontoon bridge! ”

These carpenters were basically Romans, and the Romans were still very developed in seafaring, and even the Vandals in Carthage (present-day Tunisia) were able to build their own ships and land on the southern coast of Italy to attack the city of Rome.

"Good!" Qin Dong said happily: "Agoura, you transfer manpower to cooperate with Master Habak to build a ship, and after lunch, you will go to the wood, and the wood will be dragged back with ox carts and horse-drawn carts!" Send people to Sedeka to buy tung oil, and organize the old people and women to weave some thick ropes, and start the official construction of the pontoon bridge tomorrow, Master Harbuck, you are solely responsible for this matter, Master Blacksmith Mr. La Mendel, your blacksmiths will allocate some people to work with Master Harbuck to create some iron nails! ”

The role of tung oil is not used for stir-frying, it is equivalent to paint, and the wooden boat can not be launched after the wooden boat is built, but also must be brushed with tung oil on the hull and the bottom of the ship, and then exposed to the sun for a few days, and then brush after the tung oil is dry, repeat several times, until the tung oil on the hull is completely immersed in the wood, these tung oil mixed with some materials will be completely pasted between the wooden planks on the hull, the role of tung oil is not only to prevent the hull wood from being soaked in water for a long time to be corroded, but also to bond the gaps between the hull planks to be airtight.

"Yes, sir!" Several people answered in unison.

After talking about building the bridge, Qin Dong began to arrange the arrangements for this period of time, during this time, not only can the reconnaissance of the surrounding enemy situation not be relaxed, but the construction can not be stopped, at this point, Qin Dong is different from other Xiongnu generals and officers, the Huns will not build at all, Su He. Muren, Toron, and the people sitting there could see it, so they were very convinced of him.

Qin Dong said to the blacksmith master Ramundel again: "Master, our arrows are still enough during this time, so we don't need too many people to build arrows for the time being, what you have to do now is a few things, first, make iron nails, this should be easy, right?" Second, how about building farm tools, such as hoes, shovels, sickles, and iron plows, and third, creating some light and well-defended armor for officers of the 10th and higher commanders. It's built in this style."

Needless to say, to build farm tools, which is to prepare for the later reclamation of fields, and to create armor for officers above the commander of ten masters, this is also a top priority, especially the role of grassroots officers is very large, and the combat effectiveness and morale of the army depend on these grassroots officers to a large extent, so it is necessary to increase the defense capability for these backbones.

La Mendel said, "Yes, my lord! To make iron nails, you can actually make some molds according to certain standards, and then inject the molten iron after the pig iron is melted, and this method is also used to create general arrowheads! But if you want to build a steel arrowhead, you can't use this injection mold method, the arrowhead and weapons are only pig iron when you use the injection mold method, you must continue to forge to cause steel, forging is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and if the temperature of the furnace is not high enough, even the pig iron can not be melted, as for what you said is easy to build farm tools, and the manufacture of armor, it is not a problem, but you need the help of tailors! ”

"Well, then leave it to the master to be in charge!" Qin Dong nodded, and said: "Master Chuck, you archers don't have much to do in this section, I hope you can make five hundred pieces of this kind of bow we are using now for backup, and can you research and make new bows?" The range of the bow should be increased, but the bow body should not be too long, and the bow should be suitable for cavalry use, short and long-range! I think we can make some changes in the style and materials, do you think it is possible? ”

Chuck got up and said, "Yes, my lord, Chuck will do my best to serve you!" ”

Qin Dong said with a smile: "Master Chuck, as long as you make a riding bow with a longer range than the riding bow we use now, I will reward you with a hundred gold coins, and the archers who participated in the research will have another reward!" I mean what I say, you can find Wang Liu if you need any materials, and he will help you solve it."

As soon as he heard that there was an additional generous reward, Master Chuck couldn't be calm, and said excitedly: "Yes, my lord, I will definitely devote all my energy to this matter!" ”

After saying this, Qin Dong said to the head tailor: "Master Blake, your task is to sew clothes, we have 25,000 feet of cloth, leave 5,000 feet for backup, and the remaining 20,000 feet are all made into ready-to-wear clothes, as the military uniforms of soldiers and officers, the clothes should be divided into tops and trousers, the trousers should be so long from the waist to the ankles, and the size standard should be divided into three types: large, medium and small, these three sizes are calculated according to the normal body type, if the soldier is particularly short or tall, it needs to be sewn separately, Not among these three! Is there a problem? ”

The clothes worn by Europe, especially men, during this period were basically long robes, only the inside. Trousers, without trousers, were worn by soldiers and officers of the Roman Empire in armor and battle skirts, and were smooth from the middle of the thighs, but the front of the calves of the heavy infantry was covered with iron armor.

The master tailor Blake thought for a moment and said: "My lord, it is feasible to divide the clothes into blouses and trousers, which can be seen in some Germanic barbarians in this style of clothing sewn from animal skins, and your soldiers also wear this style of sheepskin clothes, I believe that it is also possible to sew from cloth, you can rest assured!" ”

Qin Dong saw that the matter was finished and announced the adjournment of the meeting: "Okay, it's decided, today's meeting is here, everyone will start to work immediately after you go back, and the construction of the camp defense should be accelerated, so as not to be caught off guard by those Germanic barbarians!" ”
