An artificial wooden bird, waving in the wind, the feathers decorated with the wooden bird's body, trembling slightly in the cold wind.

The two officers widened their eyes as they watched the change in the feathers of the woodbird.

Keep picking up the pen to record the shaking speed and direction of the feathers.

As soon as the two officials stopped writing, two officials immediately stepped forward and took their reports.

The text of these records was then sent to a military tent in the Hingle Sai.

A celestial official took the reports, and then, he synthesized them with other texts, wrote them into a briefing, handed them to one of his attendants, and instructed: "Send them to Cheng Duwei immediately!" ”

Half an hour later, the briefing arrived at Cheng Buzhi's desk.

"Captain, this is today's celestial phenomenon reported by the heavenly officials......"

Cheng Buzhi took the briefing and glanced at it.

I saw that it was written: Xiaguan Yang Shou worships Hu Ben Du Wei Cheng Gong's foot: Today's wind is southeast, the wind is level B, the temperature is minus one moment and one-third, the sun is clear, the humidity is on A, and it is expected that there will be no rain and snow in the second half of the year.

Undoubtedly, this is a simple and original report on the weather as well as forecasts.

This is not surprising.

China is an empire dominated by agrarian peoples.

In China, there is nothing more important than farming.

Every spring, the Son of Heaven ploughs the fields in person, and the three princes and nine kings are all the Son of Heaven, thinking that they are a role model for the world.

As early as ancient times, when the Xia Hou clan was in charge, the ancient ancestors of Zhuxia had already begun to explore and explore the study of cosmic astronomy and climate change.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the texts on climate change, star changes, and celestial phenomena occupy the most space in the Shangshu.

And the ruler of Yin Shang prospered and became a soup, on the one hand, he was in awe of the gods and heaven and earth.

On the one hand, they began to prepare to document and document all the climate changes they encountered.

The term phenology appeared for the first time in Chinese history books.

In the oracle bone inscriptions buried deep underground, there is even a so-called 'Bu Xun'.

Merchants listed the sexagenary branch as the law of the chronology.

Sixty jiazi is reincarnated.

Unlike later generations, merchants used to regard ten as a reincarnation.

A cycle of the sexagenary cycle manifests six different alternations on the calendar.

And the merchants, every ten days are called ten.

Based on the available meteorological data and the signs shown by the tortoise shell, the diviner predicts the weather changes for the next 10 days.

Of course, the ruler of Yin Shang could not conquer the weather and master the changes of heaven and earth in such a simple way.

However, they engraved these efforts and research on bronze and wrote in tortoise shells.

Spanning the long Yin Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.

Time came to the great controversy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The study of weather records and phenology finally reached the peak of the classical era.

A "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" integrates astronomy, geography and humanities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Among them, the primitive meteorology that guides agricultural production has already begun to emerge.

Even, there is a classification of the twenty-four solar terms.

And when history comes to this day, standing on the shoulders of our ancestors, relying on thermometers, science and the exploration of air humidity.

Today's Zhuxia people, although still unable to accurately predict tomorrow's climate.

However, there are rough estimates of tomorrow's weather under current conditions.

In particular, the emergence of officials and thermometers has greatly enhanced the Han family's ability to observe and predict climate change.

The so-called δΌ£ is a new kind of learning that has emerged in the last decade or two.

The person who is from the human means a person who has widened his eyes to observe the heavens and the earth.

The original ruler originated in the ancient Yin Shang era.

It is recorded in the Book of Songs: Dabang has a son, the sister of Lingtian.

This is to describe the joy of King Wen winning the princess of Yin Shang.

Today, they have become Han officials who observe the direction of the wind and determine the wind speed.

They were widely active on the ships of the Lou Ship Yamen, avoiding storms and guiding the route of the ships.

At the same time, it is also active in the major granaries of the Han family, providing guidance for the production and life of the people.

The prosperity and rise of Han Zhixue originated from Sima Jizhu, who was a doctor of Yixue today.

Sima Jizhu is very fond of observing the heavens and the earth, and naturally he also likes to observe changes in wind direction, humidity and rainfall.

It was under his advocacy that the Han family flourished.

And special tools appeared.

Such as copper phoenix, copper peacock and other utensils, have appeared.

In the end, the Mo family also got involved and launched today's Han military anemometer - Lingmu Bird.

This is a very simple and practical utensil.

This allows the observer to observe the wind direction and force by the changes and direction of the feathers on the woodbird's body.

Therefore, in the present, it is difficult for today's Han family to know the climate of tomorrow.

But at least you can know the climate today.

The combination of wind, humidity and temperature, combined with the climate change data and phenological change records recorded by the ancestors with their own wisdom and cleverness, can roughly predict the approximate weather in the next few days.

Although, it is not necessarily accurate, and there are still many aspects of homework and knowledge to complete.

But at least, the Han people have the power to speculate about tomorrow.

This is important!

Especially now.

When the Han army wanted to get out of the fortress, the first thing they faced was the enemy, the weather.

Anyway, Cheng Buzhi didn't dare to imagine that the army under his command had just come out of the fortress and faced the terrible scene of Blizzard.

Therefore, the Han army did not only have a department for observing and predicting the weather in Xinglesai.

In fact, the entire front of the Great Wall is densely packed with countless such observation departments.

Although in some places, there are only one or two people, and even military part-time jobs.

However, the data from dozens of observatories, large and small, can already make a general judgment and prediction of future climatic conditions.

Cheng didn't know how to finish reading the report, so he asked people to leave a copy.

Then, he handed the original copy to an attendant officer and instructed: "Send the chariot general Mofu to Cloud City!" ”

……………………………………

Right now, in Cloudsdale.

A huge command post of the former enemy has been built.

Of course, the Han family's name for this command post is 'Mofu'.

Mo Fu, shogunate also!

It is the largest and most sophisticated war machine in the world today!

This is a powerful institution that was born in the most fierce period of the Warring States period of Qin and Zhao's struggle for hegemony, was created by Lian Po, and finally carried forward by Bai Qi.

Within a Mo mansion, there are often staff, civilians, staff officers, and various military officers and civilian officials.

The wisdom of the people worked together, and the war was changed from a single person to a group command.

To the present, the Mo Mansion of the Han family has become more scientific after being tempered by the Battle of Mayi.

Within the Mo Mansion, there was even specialization.

The Chinese army Hou Sima, who was in charge of logistics, the Chinese army who was in charge of the road, and the Chinese army counselor, who was responsible for supporting grain and grass and distributing supplies, appeared one after another.

There is even a special staff group for deducing war, called the Wuyuan Student Corps of 'Recording Matters and Joining the Army'.

In the entire Mo Mansion, the officials of the upper and lower levels add up, almost a thousand.

They constituted the brains of the Han army's offensive and command.

And Yizong and his cronies and generals are the central nervous system of this brain.

"The pre-war materials sent by the Shaofu can be delivered?" Yi Zong approached a hall in the Mo Mansion and asked the dozens of generals who were holding maps or gathering in front of the sand table.

Li Zhen, the candidate of the Chinese army, immediately replied: "Return to the general, the materials lost by the Shaofu have arrived in the clouds!" ”

He took a report, handed it to Yizong, and said, "This is the list of supplies......

Yi Zong took it and glanced at it.

It's all densely packed with materials.

Oil, salt, wine, meat, this is a necessity.

In addition to this, there are huge quantities of dried fish, whale oil, and brown sugar.

Especially brown sugar!

The total amount is close to 3,000 stones!

This was completely unimaginable just a few years ago!

But today, with the submission of South Vietnam, the Han family has gained a large cane sugar production area.

Yulin, Cangwu, Jiaozhi, Rinan, and Jiuzhen in the Kingdom of Nanyue are all excellent sugarcane producing areas.

The sugar trade flourished like never before.

In order to satisfy the Han family's demand for cane sugar, Yi Zong heard that in Jiaozhi County, the local Nanyue nobles and local gentry, together with the Han nobles and merchants, almost captured the wild people and Shengfan on the outskirts of the jungle of Jiaozhi County.

The kings of Cangwu and Yulin in South Vietnam even dispatched troops to carry out a dragnet clearing of the jungles under their jurisdiction.

Hundreds of thousands of primitive tribes were captured by them in the plains and hilly areas to carry out sugarcane cultivation and sugar extraction.

And these cane sugars are continuously transported to Jiangdu, Pengcheng, Suiyang, Luoyang, and Chang'an.

In return, the Han family's grain ships and merchant ships laden with iron tools continued to move south, bringing grain, ironware, salt, and all kinds of luxury goods to the locals.

Today's Panyu, the capital of South Vietnam, even has the city of Little Chang'an.

The nobles of South Vietnam and the tribal leaders of Baiyue were drunk and died because of the sugar trade.

So much so that a Han scholar once went to Rinan County, the southernmost part of the Nanyue Kingdom, and met a local Baiyue hereditary nobleman.

This scholar saw the other party's feather crown and scarf, dressed as a Han family doctor.

So, the scholar asked very curiously, "Do you know that the king of China is Huahu?" ”

He replied: "I don't know, I only know that there is a Chinese Son of Heaven, born with a divine ......."

He asked again: "Do you know Zhou Gong, Kong Qiu, and Guanzihu?" ”

He replied, "I don't know, who is this?" ”

The scholar was surprised and asked: "Jun doesn't know about Wanghua, and he doesn't know the learning of Zhou Gong and Guan Qiu, why does he use a feather crown and a scarf, like a Chinese scholar, to act like a king, and even use a Han name with a Han surname?" ”

The other party replied: "Although I don't know China's Wanghua, nor do I know Zhou Gong and Guanqiu, but I know that China has the fragrance of rice, the reality of iron, the beauty of silk, and the sharpness of swords and guns!" My whole clan depends on China, if there is no Chinese rice, iron, our people are still slash-and-burn, and they are tattooed! ”

Although this story is a discerning person, they will know that it is propaganda processed by the Son of Heaven.

But at the very least, it reflects the fact that the economic ties between Han and South Vietnam today are as close as one person!

South Vietnam's silk cloth, iron tools, and even oil and salt were all supplied by China.

Even the copper coins used by the South Vietnamese and the medicinal materials they relied on for survival were all transported from China.

It is no exaggeration to say that today, even the Zhao clan of South Vietnam wants to rebel.

Then the bureaucrats and nobles of all parts of South Vietnam, as well as those Baiyue tribes, would not agree.

The speed of sinicization of the Kingdom of Nanyue is proceeding at the speed of light!

Lian Ri Nan County, Jiuzhen County, Cangwu and Yulin, which have always been divided, are now inseparable from the Han family.

Especially the cangwu and the canopy forest.

These two lands are mountainous and watery, and the land is barren, and if there is no sugar trade, then the local nobles are no different from savages.

It was the Han family's demand for cane sugar that made them rich and kept them fed.

Once this trade chain is severed, then King Cangwu and King Yulin will immediately go home to eat the soil.

And for the Han people, especially for the Han soldiers in the north.

Sucrose, a red and sweet condiment, is simply a natural delicacy!

A bowl of sucrose can stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

If you sprinkle sucrose on top of the tofu brain, it can immediately dispel the cold and make the whole person feel warm from the mind to the body.

Therefore, Yi Zong immediately ordered: "Immediately distribute all the cane sugar to all battalions in the army, and instruct the cooks to prepare for the whole army to eat!" ”

Dopamine is a stimulus that humans can't refuse!

It's even sharper than alcohol!

Moreover, it is much better than alcohol.

Legend has it that Li Guang, the light car general of Beidi County, even changed the old problem of alcoholism after having cane sugar dipped in tofu in his head.

It can only be said that this is a victory for the sweet party!

Now, there are thirty or forty thousand troops under the command of Yizong, almost all of whom have been captured by Sucane.

Especially in the cold northland winters.

The soldiers desperately needed cane sugar to warm their bodies and relieve the tension before the battle.

After the righteous commander gave the order on this matter, he clapped his palms, summoned the generals and asked, "How are the preparations of the whole army going?" ”

When Zhang Wei, the commander of the Chinese army, heard this, he was the first to report to the column: "General Qiyu, the smooth work of Qin Zhidao can be completed in three days!" ”

When Yi Zong heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "The father in the cloud of hard work is old! ”

Zhang Wei said: "Don't dare, the army is out of the fortress to ask the Huns for blood debts, and the long-cherished wish of the fathers and sons in this cloud is also!" ”

Marquis Yu, Sima Li Ji, who was in charge of ordnance, then came out and reported: "General Qiyu, all the ordnance materials of the various armies have now arrived at the arsenal of the front-line military fortress, and they can be distributed to the army at any time!" ”

Yizong nodded and said, "It's hard to replace the father and elder of Taiyuan!" ”

In this battle, the total strength of the Han army reached more than 60,000 people.

Among them, the equipment of the cavalry, except for the cuirass that needed to be transported, was nothing.

It is completely possible for the army to take it with them.

But the equipment of the foot soldiers, especially the equipment used in the siege, was a bit troublesome.

Especially in the past few days, it has begun to rain on the generation, which has put a burden on the transportation work.

Fortunately, the work was finally completed on schedule.

This made Yizong let go of his worries.

At this point, the Han army had basically completed the pre-war assembly and preparation, and had the ability to fight out of the fortress.

Next, it's up to God.

"May God bless you, the sun is shining and the weather is fine...... Don't let it snow......" Yi Zong prayed in his heart.

……

Note: Solar eclipses generally occur on the first day of the lunar calendar.

Note, however, that the calendar at this time is a ι’›ι‘Ό calendar.

Not a lunar ......

Also, I don't know how different there is from the lunar calendar.

But the solar eclipse of September Jiawu (the sixth day of the first month), this is the record of the historical records~~~ (to be continued.) )
