Chapter 126: For the sake of a factory, build another factory?
Meng Tian grabbed the Kanyu map in his hand and began to pace back and forth in the tent without stopping, not continuing to think about the matter of the eldest son Fusu.
Their 300,000 troops did not find any trace of the Huns, let alone the eldest son? It shouldn't be so unlucky to encounter the Hun army.
What's more, His Majesty also sent an elite to protect the eldest son, what accidents can happen?
The map of Kanyu that Meng Tian was holding in his hand was sent by Meng Yi on order, and it is said to have been painted by Jiang Xia. It's very basic, but you can also see a rough idea.
After continuing north from Daqin......
It's a huge area!
Even, a line was drawn, saying that the area outside this line has been frozen for many years, and the further north you go, the worse the environment becomes.
They had also tried to attack the Huns several times before, and every time they couldn't defeat them, they would run all the way, not knowing where they had hidden, and then they would come back after a period of recuperation.
Could it be that they are hiding in the place where it is said to have been frozen for many years?
Meng Tian shuddered, the Xiongnu had Yueshi in the west and Hu in the east, and the possibility of the Xiongnu fleeing to the east and west was not very large.
But if the Huns went all the way north and hid in the frozen land, would they continue to chase them?
If they continue to chase, such a long distance is far from what they can support, even if they have abundant financial resources and the weather is cold, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties.
But if you don't chase it, won't it be another trip to the north this time?
Meng Tian gritted his teeth, grabbed the edge of Kanyutu, and stared straight at the deserted place in the north.
Just when Meng Tian hesitated, the adjutant general walked in briskly from outside the door, with a thick smile on his face, "General! Xianyang sent new military funds over! ”
"Oh?" Meng Tian looked at the adjutant general beside him strangely, he had never seen the adjutant general so happy when the military funds were sent in the past, why was he so excited this time? "Did you send something good?"
"It's a great thing!" The adjutant general hurriedly took Meng Tian and walked out, "General! Several truckloads of gunpowder were delivered this time! It is said that Yangwu has improved it again, which is more powerful and safer. ”
"Oh?!" Meng Tian's eyes lit up, "This is a good thing!" ”
As he spoke, Meng Tian also followed behind the deputy general and walked out quickly.
The entire camp was already immersed in a sea of cheerfulness, and they had already tried the power of gunpowder before attacking the Huns.
The earth shakes and the mountains shake!
Very shocking!
Almost all the soldiers have full confidence in this attack on the Xiongnu, they have such a sharp weapon in Daqin, and they are still afraid that the Xiongnu will not be destroyed?
However, for more than a month, they have been going back and forth on the grassland, and they have not even seen a single Huns, which has almost exhausted everyone's patience and their morale has plummeted.
Now, as soon as so much gunpowder arrived, the soldiers were all excitedly gathered around the baggage carts, waiting for Meng Tian to receive this batch of military supplies.
Meng Tian walked out of the tent and went straight to the gate of the camp, and the team of baggage trucks could barely see the end!
Seeing so much baggage, Meng Tian couldn't help but have a little smile on his face, "There are so many baggage this time?" ”
Meng Yi walked up with a smile, winked at his brother, and said with a smile, "This time, I came here and sent a lot of gunpowder, and in addition, there are good things!" ”
"And the good stuff?" Meng Tian's eyes lit up.
The last time Meng Yi said this, it was when gunpowder was delivered! The shocking scene after Meng Yi ignited the gunpowder is still fresh in his memory.
This time, what's the good stuff?
Seeing Meng Tian's expression, Meng Yi shook his head helplessly, "How can there be so many artifacts like gunpowder!" ”
Meng Yi paused and waved to the person behind him. Suddenly, a guard came running over with what looked like clothes.
Meng Tian looked at the thing in Meng Yi's hand suspiciously, "This is the good thing you said?" ”
"You try! It's definitely worth it! ”
"Oh?"
Meng Tian shook off his clothes suspiciously, dusty, not much different from the clothes they were wearing now, soft to the touch, and there seemed to be something in the linen.
"What's in there?"
Meng Yi shook his head and said that he didn't know, "I don't know, I heard that there is a garment manufacturing factory in Yangwu that produces this thing every day." It seems that Mr. heard that his brother was attacking the Huns, and it was about to freeze when the weather was freezing, so he deliberately made it. ”
Specially made?
Meng Tian put on his clothes with a puzzled face, light and fluttering, without any weight, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he could keep warm.
Soon, the expression on Meng Tian's face became very strange.
When he first put it on, he didn't feel very warm, but after just a moment's work, he felt that his body was warm, and there seemed to be a thin layer of sweat on his back!
Meng Tian's eyes lit up, "It's really warm!" ”
Thinking of the vast northern land in his mind, Meng Tian gritted his teeth, even if it was frozen for many years?
Now that they have such warm clothes, can they break through too?!
"That's right! It is said to be called a down jacket. Meng Yi was puzzled, "I also specially dismantled one, it seems to be some duck down or chicken fluff, if it weren't for Mr., how would we know that these tiny fluff can be made into such warm clothes?" ”
"Fluff?" Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, reached out and pinched his clothes, as if there was nothing there.
The fluff of those animals can actually keep warm?
"Well, it seems that Sir has built a breeding factory specifically for this garment factory." Meng Yi felt his brain buzz when he thought about it.
To make clothes, to build a special farm?
Can't you just go to the farmer to collect it?
How much trouble it takes?
Meng Tian, "......"
He couldn't understand it, and at the same time he was shocked.
After Meng Tian finished counting the military funds sent this time, he took Meng Yi all the way to his military tent, and asked Meng Yi curiously, "Now Xianyang...... Ah, isn't it, there are a lot of Huns on the Yangwu side? ”
Meng Yi nodded, "Well, I heard that the Huns worked hard, and the women and children of the Huns could almost take charge of themselves, so many mines wanted the Huns, and the price was not low." ”
Meng Tian, "......"
Speaking of this, Meng Yi asked suspiciously, "I heard that my brother has not yet confronted the main force of the Huns?" Are they afraid of the danger of gunpowder and have all fled? ”
Hearing Meng Yi's question, Meng Tian didn't know how to answer for a while.
He sighed with an extremely strange expression, "Until now, I have never had a chance to meet the Huns!" Can you think of it? We have been deep in the grassland for a month, not to mention the main force of the Huns, even the Hun tribes have never encountered it! The few tribes that have been encountered are also abandoned tribal old lands, and there is no one at all! ”
