"This matter, don't be nonsense, let the old man know that it's not good, what are those women in the back house, you also know, if this news leaks, I will push you!"

I ran to western Yunnan, let the old man know that there is no good word, most of the women in the back house will come out to stop them, they don't know the root of the road, the more they help, the more they help, it is not impossible.

"I know it!"

Ding Taichen replied, but Xu Ziwei, who was with Yang Meng, even had the intention of hanging, following the third master in the past two years, Xu Ziwei didn't suffer much, let him run to western Yunnan, and it was not impossible to die of exhaustion.

"You're mourning! You don't need to run, you take the horses and supplies, walk slowly, just go straight to Tengyue Town, and wait for the third master there! Maybe the third master will arrive before you! Follow Taechen to prepare! ”

Seeing Xu Ziwei's crying and mourning appearance, Yang Meng didn't have good words, and sent Xu Ziwei and Ding Taichen away in two sentences, and Yang Meng followed the guards around him and learned to play leggings.

"Third master, the straw sandals are ready, can you give it a try?"

I tried some rough straw sandals, and although they didn't feel as good as leather boots, they were still very breathable.

Tighten the hemp rope behind the upper, take a few steps, jump a few times, the newly knitted straw shoes are a little hard, but the overall feeling is still alive, after trying, Yang Meng directly took off the straw sandals, and began to disassemble.

"Don't follow the foot, the position of the thumb, add some strips of cloth, so that it will follow the foot, the upper is slightly softer, lined with more hemp rope, the sole and the upper interface is the same, the sole is a little hard, make two layers of cotton cloth lining. As I said. Try another pair! ”

I tried on my own straw sandals. Yang Meng was not idle, and tried the traditional straw sandals, which were more heel than the heels he designed, but most of the feet were exposed, in the rainforest, it was easy to be infested by snakes and insects, and some snakes and insects in the rainforest were poisonous, and the march was not a hunter hunting. Speed first, this traditional straw sandal, in the middle of the rainforest, is not as practical as its own.

"What do we have in our Zhuangzi for carrying things?"

Straw sandals have been waiting for a while, backpacks and other things, I haven't let them do it before, and it will definitely not be possible to carry supplies and baggage, and when it comes to the end, Yang Meng is also a little busy.

"Bamboo basket!"

The steward who followed Yang Meng's side. Without hesitation, he reported an object that made Yang Meng frown a little.

"Take a look! and the things that were filled with water. ”

got Yang Meng's orders. The stewards are also fast-legged, blinking time, a few bamboo baskets deep or shallow, as well as skins, bamboo tubes, silver and copper kettles and the like.

Rainforest battles, water is also the key, Yang Meng didn't look at the bamboo basket first, but picked up the utensils for holding water, the skin bag, the wine is still good, if the water is easy to deteriorate, this thing was abandoned by Yang Meng at the first time.

Those copper and silver kettles are time-consuming, and bamboo tubes have undoubtedly become the best choice. A piece of bamboo tube, a wooden stopper, even if it is a work, these bamboo tubes in Wuzhuang are also finely made, and the carved handles are readily available.

Yang Meng is not looking at the decoration, but the capacity and ease of carrying, a one-foot-long, calf-thick bamboo kettle, about enough to hold a liter of water, this amount is almost enough.

"Prepare fifty of such bamboo kettles, make cloth bags, and hang them on your body!"

When it was time to use it, there was a lack of everything, there was no armed belt, and there was no place to hang the kettle, so I had to get a cloth bag to hang on my body first.

After giving these instructions, Yang Meng also took out his small notebook and began to write and draw on it, which he also learned from Ding Taichen, there were too many things, and he was afraid of forgetting.

The bamboo basket, the square one must not be carried, the high back basket has become Yang Meng's only choice, this thing is also ergonomic, big and small, and it is quite stable to carry on the back.

"Add a lid to the back basket, change the strap to a cloth rope or leather rope, and let the kitchen prepare 300 catties of fried noodles, as well as all kinds of smoked meat.

There are fifty of us here, and each of them will prepare a tarpaulin, a wool felt, and pots and pans for eating, and take them and look at them. ”

In this thousand-mile march, Yang Meng not only wants to recover his physical fitness, but also has to come up with a set of marching equipment, although the new army in Yunnan is there, but now it is only basic training, and many things still need to be perfected.

Yang Meng really forgot about this before, whether it is Yongchang or western Sichuan, the new army has logistical support, and all the new army has to do is to carry a gun to fight, and don't worry too much about the rest.

This change in southern Xinjiang is a good thing for both the new army and Yang Meng, and this test is not only a test of the land combat capabilities of the great powers, but also a test of Yang Meng's previous gains and losses.

The things of the march are generally prepared, and the next thing is his fifty guards, the guards around Yang Meng have been changed several times, and among the new army, the most capable and robust people are qualified to follow Yang Meng's side.

Now the fifty guards around Yang Meng, ninety percent are mountain people of the Zhuang, Yi and Miao tribes, one meter seven up, more than one hundred and fifty pounds in weight, although this is not considered a strong man in western Sichuan, but in Yunnan, these fifty people definitely belong to the strong man.

Each person had a large blade, a bayonet, and a short knife, which were cold weapons, and in addition to the bayonet and short knife on the belt, there were two revolvers, and two bullet pouches for long and short guns.

There are no shoulder straps, the load of the belt is not small, and this matter is easy to solve, and the two cloth belts that are crossed, and the simple armed belts are used.

These guards were all dressed in military uniforms designed by Yang Meng, covered with a half-length gown, with leather military boots, and they also looked like iron-blooded men.

"Take off all your leather boots, and go out to change straw sandals this time!"

There is nothing to streamline the equipment on his body, except for straw sandals and leggings, his own guards, there is nothing missing.

"Third master, what such good boots! When you change straw sandals, why do you still live more and more? ”

As soon as I heard that there were no boots to wear, the guards stopped doing it, such good boots, I have worn them once in a lifetime, why do you have to wear straw sandals again?

"Bastard thing, it's okay to ride a horse and wear this, and run to western Yunnan. You guys wear this. Just wait for the rotten feet! ”

Although these military boots have air holes in them. can not cover his feet, only the shoe-wearing Zhilu Dao, Yang Meng's own boots, which are carefully made by the shoemakers, are smelly in the wind at night, not to mention these ordinary military boots.

"We're not afraid of rotten feet! Besides, these straw sandals are not worn and run to western Yunnan. You have to change more than a dozen pairs along the way, and it's troublesome! ”

Looking at the guards' feet, the clean boots, Yang Meng didn't have any tricks, these calves are the goods that can be smeared on the trouser legs with muddy water on the military boots, and it is also difficult to expect them to lose the military boots!

"It's done! Straw sandals should be worn, and you should carry your military boots on your back! Anyway, the third master doesn't plan to wear boots.

Prepare some leather and line it on the soles of straw shoes! ”

A pair of military boots for a few taels of silver. In the eyes of the guards, it is with large blades, fire. Valuables as important as guns and horses. But in Yang Meng's opinion, these are dead things, and those that can be used are good things, and when they come to southern Xinjiang and suffer hardships, they will know what shoes to wear.

A piece of oilcloth and a felt, it is a place to sleep in the wild, this time to go to western Yunnan, Yang Meng does not plan to pass through the city and the village, and the wild march is the main dish of this trip to western Yunnan.

Sewing cloth tapes on the linoleum felt, Yang Meng began to teach his guards to make a roll of covers.

A bamboo basket is four or five catties, a bamboo kettle is two or three catties, more than ten catties of food, more than ten catties of oilcloth felt, and the armament on the body is close to thirty catties, plus pots and pans, and some bits and pieces, everyone's weight is about thirty kilograms, and the weight of a thousand-mile march is also a great test for Yang Meng and his guards.

"Third Master, these are your things?"

Ding Taichen, who rushed back with Liu Yitie, was also a little dumbfounded when he saw Yang Meng's dress, okay! In the blink of an eye, his third master has become a lever.

"Hmmm! It's a must-have, it's a bit heavy! ”

Shrugged his shoulders and tried the weight of the back basket, Yang Meng was really a little unaccustomed.

"Just let the people below do it, why are you bothering!"

Do it yourself, and do nothing, these hard work should not be what the Yang family should do.

"If you want to survive in this world, there are some things that you must know, I carry these things on my back, but they are all life-saving things, try it this time, if it is appropriate, the new army will come like this in the future!"

Yang Meng said this is not bad, according to the current conditions, the supply of the army is a difficult matter, a person has to bring at least half a month's rations, oilcloth felt is also an indispensable thing, plus weapons and equipment, thirty kilograms is a basic load.

"Done! I don't know about marching and fighting, you can do it! You all listened, the safety of the third master on this trip is the most important, out of the basket, and no one can catch it! ”

No one can stop what the third master decides, but it is not without danger to go to western Yunnan, and in response to Yang Meng's words, Ding Taichen also gave Yang Meng's fifty guards a death order.

The guards from the mountain people didn't have any extra words, but just put a firm gaze on Yang Meng's body. The third master's guards are different from the ordinary new army, not to mention their own money, that is, the family earns more silver than others, which is the welfare of the Yang family.

The new army is not the descendant of the Yang family, nor is the swordsman, in the eyes of the people of Yunnan, it is the real descendant who guards the safety of the Yang family, and the people around the third master are the descendant of the descendant.

Although the guards around Yang Meng have changed several groups of people, everyone who is released is either leading troops in the new army, or becoming the owner of Wuzhuang, and changing to other places, there is no faster promotion than following the third master.

The people who can be Yang Meng's guards have also been screened layer by layer, it is not enough to be able to fight, millions of people in Yunnan, hundreds of thousands of people in Yangjiawuzhuang, don't dare to fight and kill more people who can fight and kill, why did you choose only fifty of them?

Although the Yang family has only been in Yunnan for a few years, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who dare to play for the Yang family.

Foolish and loyal people are also a pass to be the Yang family's guards, this pass is personally controlled by Wei Wu, Mr. Wei looks at people, there is almost no omission, for Yang Meng's safety, the Yang family has also spent a lot of effort.

"That's it! We will stay in Wuzhuang tonight, and you have to watch the things at home when we leave early tomorrow morning, don't make any baskets! ”

In fact, what Ding Taichen said was also in vain, what kind of guards are he like, Yang Meng himself knows best, and he will never stay by his side, these people around him, to say something exaggerated, let them wipe their necks, I am afraid that half of them will not hesitate.

"Third master, this is white medicine, there is a small silver knife in it, after you hurry, remember to untie the leggings, it is best to soak your feet in hot water at night, and the blisters on your feet will be punctured.

Remember to scrape off the ulcerated place with a silver knife and then apply white medicine, and after the silver knife is used, wipe it with wine and roast it with fire.

This is the medicine powder of Qingwen, if the summer is hot, you can also drink some with water. This is the bleaching powder brought by foreigners, and the water purification has a miraculous effect, but it is toxic.

I have engraved the names of these medicines on the box, so I have to read them clearly when I use them. ”

Before leaving, Liu Yitie also became a broken mouth, afraid that the third master would forget to bring something.

"The bleaching powder is here, it's a good thing, it's made in large quantities!"

As soon as he heard the bleaching powder, Yang Meng's eyes also lit up, this thing is good! Liu Yitie didn't think about it in exchange for a task, and he was choked up.

"Third master, go and rest early! I'll arrange this side of the matter. ”

"Hmmm! I need to try more straw sandals, and I'm a little unsure. ”

It was not early, and Yang Meng did not refuse, and took his guards and stayed in Wuzhuang. (To be continued......)
