It's not a trivial matter to make friends with local wealthy families privately.

However, the expedition of the army, the bloody battlefield, life and death are only in the moment.

The soldiers' parents, wives and children all leaned against the door. But soldiers, if you can't even eat your stomach, how can you kill the enemy with peace of mind and serve the country?

Yang Tingfeng thought for a while before he said: "In this case, Mr. Lao has to stay here to coordinate, but everything needs to be careful and act as low-key as possible." Once there is any change, send someone Pegasus to report to Yang that he knows. ”

"Adults can rest assured that they are determined to live up to their mission." Pei Ju took the order, got up and retired.

At this time, it was twilight, Yang Tingfeng beckoned all the officers to eat, he specially found several local farms, paid out of his own pocket, bought a hundred old hens, cooked a large pot of chicken soup, and distributed it to the officers and soldiers of various departments.

During the meal, he told everyone about Pei Ju's plan, and asked the four uncles to speak in unison, and once someone asked in the future, he only said that the grain was purchased from the private landlord, and the rest was unknown.

This is good, a few people already have a headache about buying grain. At first glance, when I heard that Pei Ju was under the unified supervision, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and patted my chest and promised. After eating, the men discussed the route of the march for another hour before they dispersed.

Due to the strict curfew of the imperial court, and Yang Tingfeng and their guest army, it is inconvenient to show off in the county.

Therefore, Yang Tingfeng ordered the soldiers on duty outside the camp gate - except for Pei Ju, no one was allowed to go out, and those who violated the order were given forty military sticks

He and Xiao Wolf took turns to go up and down at night, responsible for checking the posts and sentry posts from time to time, and inspecting the sleeping conditions of various departments.

Perhaps tired from the continuous rapid march, this night, no soldiers went out without permission, and after dinner, they all rested early......

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

After a night of spring rain, the rice seedlings in the field sprouted, and the white siads, cranberries and Hu vegetables in the vegetable fields also exuded a green luster under the sunshine.......

Yang Tingfeng stood at the gate of the camp, stretched his waist fiercely, and looked at the large crops under the hillside, and couldn't help but feel good.

He was personally in charge of duty in the second half of the night, and there were countless military affairs on his body, so he didn't sleep from the second half of the night.

You know, there is nothing trivial in the army, and there is nothing that is not important.

Moreover, if one thing is come, one thing must be done, and there must be no delay.

In ancient times, unlike modern times, there was an independent and perfect logistics support system.

Everything is grasped by the officers.

Unless there is a war every year, there is no war readiness at all.

As soon as the soldiers and horses moved, all the problems were immediately apparent.

For example, war rations.

Since all the grain for war preparation is old rice, but the old rice should also be divided into three years, five years, or seven years. All the rations for war had to be sorted so that they could be called upon by the army at any time.

Second, although the old rice can be eaten, the taste is very poor, but it is not harmful to the body. But if it is moldy and spoiled old rice, people will be poisoned and sick if they eat it.

In a word, when it comes to eating, you can't make a mistake when you order it carefully.

Another example, padded jacket military uniform.

Yongliang is a bitter cold place, and a large number of cotton clothes are needed for soldiers to keep out the cold.

From the moment Yang Tingfeng received the order, he sent someone to the Song Quartermaster to collect cotton clothes.

These army coats, in the storehouse of the Zi Saixi Army, have been in the warehouse for a long time, and each one of them exudes a musty smell.

During the march, Yang Tingfeng once asked the soldiers to take out the shade, bask in the sun by the way, and remove mildew, which can be used in winter.

He had good intentions, but who knew that these coats looked new on the outside, and when they were exposed to the sun, the spring breeze blew, and all the cotton wool immediately fell apart......

Of course, the most troublesome thing is the weapon.

Because Yang Tingfeng himself takes great care of the equipment, under his 'edification', all the officers and men of the Zhang battalion use the swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, etc., which are usually maintained diligently and properly.

But in terms of arrows, it's troublesome.

In order to prevent rebellion, the border army implemented a strict system of arms management.

For example, Yang Tingfeng's camp is only allowed to receive a small number of standing arrows for training; Only in wartime can you go to the treasury and receive arrows on a large scale.

As a result, I don't know if it was due to dampness or mismanagement by the group of people in the treasury, and the arrows that were brought back had already rotted and broken when they were plucked. You know, without arrows, this bow can only be a burning stick, completely useless.

Such a dereliction of duty and neglect of armament could have blown up Yang Tingfeng at that time, and he originally intended to report to the Marshal's Mansion and lock up these guys for questioning.

But then he thought that the war was approaching, the urging from above was tight, and his rear still needed supplies from these guys, so he pressed it down and thought he was unlucky.

Therefore, after the army rushed to Yurong City in a hurry, Yang Tingfeng not only did not rest well, but became more and more busy.

During the more than one month he took over the armament, he mainly did the following things.

The first thing is to consult the local elders, mobilize the people of Yurong City, build a new reservoir, and deploy the army, not only food and grass are important, but drinking water is equally important.

If the soldiers drank unclean water, they would get sick. When there are too many sick people, a plague occurs. And once the epidemic spreads in the barracks, the death of men and horses will be the whole battalion, and the losses will be immeasurable.

Therefore, finding water sources and building reservoirs is quite exquisite, and it is necessary to consult the local knowledgeable old people.

Moreover, after the completion of the new reservoir, it will be necessary to send special soldiers to guard it to prevent the enemy from poisoning.

The second is to strengthen the city's defenses.

After consulting with the local officials, Yang Tingfeng sent people up the mountain to cut down wood that night, led the soldiers, and set up a horse gun on the periphery of the moat of Yurong City, and installed various mechanisms near the horse gun rejection. After rejecting the rifles, thousands of pits were dug out, the pits were covered with spikes, and the back surface was covered with camouflage, so that it was level with the ground, and the appearance was not visible at all.

At the same time, he asked Xiao Wolf to lead the soldiers to install wooden pivots along the city wall, mobilize the people, and use levers to lift and lower the mechanism, and slide the boulder down the mountain along the basket, so that it can directly reach the front of the city wall.

The periphery was properly deployed, and Yang Tingfeng entrusted military affairs to He Ruobi and others, and told them to pay close attention to the training of new soldiers.

He himself, on the other hand, rolled up his sleeves and worked with the carpenters to make a secret giant crossbow called 'Destroying the Mountain'.

This crossbow is still the former head of the 'Shenji Gate', Lu Zhan, referring to the Mojia giant crossbow, as well as the Qin crossbow, the essence of the Han crossbow, which took eight years to design.

The chassis of this giant crossbow is equipped with a runner wheel, which can be rotated in eight directions, and can also be divided into several parts with the help of a clever machine, which is convenient for soldiers to carry and transfer, and there are also calipers on it, which greatly increases the accuracy, and is a great killer weapon for defending the city.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is easy to load.

Specifically, it is a group of six people, one person is responsible for shooting, two are responsible for turning, one person is responsible for concentrating on loading ammunition, and two people are responsible for covering the shooter with a large shield. The cooperation of six people increased the original shooting efficiency by several times, which is similar to the semi-maneuver tactics of Europe in the future.

Among them, there is also a small episode.

Originally, Yang Tingfeng only needed to draw a pattern and let the carpenter make it according to the drawing.

However, the structure of this crossbow is too complicated, and there are a large number of parameters, most of the carpenters are illiterate, and the local officials are even more ignorant of carpentry and military, so they do not pay much attention to it, so it dragged on for three days and never made one.

It wasn't until Yang Tingfeng personally went down to guide and assist the carpenter to work day and night that he built one and installed it at the head of the city.

It's just that everyone has never seen the power of this crossbow, so they are quite disdainful.

In the three days after the first ballista was introduced, the local officials still did what they had to do, and the craftsmen continued to fish for three days and dry their nets for two days.

Seeing this, Yang Tingfeng immediately found a fast boulder, and after successfully demonstrating the power of this crossbow, everyone had a better view.

In addition, he gave a death order - ten must be built within a month, otherwise from officials to craftsmen, all military law will be involved.

Only then did they work honestly one by one, with a lot less gossip, and they rushed to make it day and night, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.

The third thing Yang Tingfeng came here was military clothes and weapons.

He took out a silver tael out of his own pocket, and mobilized the women of Yurong City to work together to re-play cotton and sew cotton clothes.

When encountering particularly ingenious ones, Yang Tingfeng also taught them how to repair the armor tie rope and repair the mrigal armor piece.

Of course, the blacksmiths in the city, Yang Tingfeng did not let them idle, he personally supervised and assigned them to hurry up to make spear heads and repair swords.

In addition, he gathered all the craftsmen and lacquerers who could weave bamboo baskets in the city and taught them how to make arrows and make bamboo bows.

Of course, the wages of these people were also paid at three times the standard of the imperial court, and their purpose was also to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.

Yes, after this month, Yang Tingfeng has been tired.

But there is no way, who let him have a big stake.

Therefore, no matter how sleepy and tired he is, he gritted his teeth, beat his spirit, and did everything well.

The officials of the local yamen saw that Yang Tingfeng was not only vigorous and resolute, but also acted in a hurry.

And many times, they were so busy that they couldn't take care of eating or sleeping, and everyone admired them, and under the strict military law, for a while, the local officials were all afraid.

The bureaucratic style of prevarication and procrastination in the past has been swept away, and work efficiency has also been greatly improved.

Finally, at the end of the month, ten 'mountain-destroying' giant crossbows were produced, and after Yang Tingfeng passed the inspection, he also praised everyone greatly.

And those craftsmen and lacquer craftsmen, under Lao Yang's 'heavy money', worked day and night to create 10,000 arrows......

What is urgently needed now is the problem of vegetables, fruits and salt.

After all, people can't just cook, they also need food and salt.

Although the wealthy can solve the food problem, this vegetable can't be sent by others every day, right?

Moreover, once the city of Yurong is besieged, this material cannot be delivered.

The grain is okay, and it will be fine for three and five years, but this vegetable will not last long, and it will rot and stink in a few days.

Lack of non-staple food is a problem.

However, without table salt, it is a trouble to find him—a huge trouble

First of all, salt is the most important preservative ingredient for the preservation of vegetables and meat.

Secondly, salt cleans and disinfects wounds and reduces the mortality rate of soldiers.

Thirdly, salt can maintain the osmotic pressure and acid-base balance of the human body, and can also maintain the normal excitability of nerves and muscles, and maintain good health.

According to modern medicine, the main component of salt is sodium chloride, and a certain amount of salt must be consumed every day to maintain metabolism, adjust the acid-base balance between body fluids and cells, and promote the maintenance of life.

To put it bluntly, non-staple foods can be left uneaten, but the supply of salt must not be without.

So, on the last day of the end of the month, Yang Tingfeng called all the military and political officials of Yurong City, big and small, to the city wall to discuss countermeasures.........
