Li Xin and Li Yan returned to their residence in a daze, not because they drank too much.

They didn't live in the same room, they belonged next door, and they didn't eat much, and they didn't drink too much, because they were confused.

The two people who couldn't sleep went out almost at the same time, and after seeing each other, they said together: "Brother Li, drink some more?" ”

They asked for wine, not only wine, but also food, and the two sat down to drink slowly.

……

"It's April, it's almost there." Zhu Wentian was also drinking, and on the top of the mountain temple, there was a small pavilion here, from which he could see the entire Xiaqiu Village.

The chief sat opposite him, it was hot and stuffy, and the chief went to the shrine to chat with someone but didn't see it, so he brought wine and food directly to the mountain temple.

Sure enough, when I saw Hanhan writing and painting there, the two of them came to it.

In other places, the lights are turned off when sleeping at night, and Xiaqiu Village picks up lanterns outside to not affect the sleep of the people in the house.

Some people can't sleep, and they can sit at the door for a while.

"What's coming soon?" The chief brought cold beer and sauced beef, beef tendons, mixed pig ears, and braised pork trotters.

There is not a single green vegetable, it is hot, it is good to eat some egg white, the main thing is that these dishes are ready-made.

"Fighting! Xu Da's team is about to arrive in Lingbei, their large livestock is sufficient, and the soldiers eat meat and are in good health, and they are leggings.

Steady and stable, but the speed of the march will not be slow, the reconnaissance and cavalry are out in all directions, and the long-range mirror is expected to see the enemy first.

The biggest obstacle and barrier between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty is the desert there, called the Gobi Desert.

Once the Ming Dynasty takes the entire desert, it will be possible to attack and retreat, and nothing is impossible. ”

Zhu Wentian's eyes looked at the lights outside, and in his mind was the desert under the scorching sun.

He was thinking about how to arrange an army garrison in the desert, which would have to start from the Gobi.

There is no water in the desert, the main reason is that there is no good drilling rig, and there is water under the sand, and it is too difficult to get it out.

"What about the desert? I've never seen what the desert looks like, but I've heard people say that there is sand everywhere.

It's like the valley north of our village, but if we can climb up from there, it's all sand, and it's going to go down, right?

If you fall in, you have to pull it up with a rope, right? Or else people will climb up and down again and again? ”

Sato has never been to a desert since he was a child, and he imagines it by the descriptions of others.

Zhu Wentian shook his head: "It's not so scary, just go up slowly, it's the same as climbing a mountain, the sand doesn't slide down."

The key is that the temperature difference between day and night is large, it is very cold at night, and sunburn and dehydration during the day are the most fatal, as for snakes, scorpions and whatever, it is easy to deal with.

Over there, the hotter it gets, the tighter it gets, and if you continue to go there, you will come to the place of the Arabs.

They all wrap themselves up, only show a pair of eyes, it is better to wear white clothes, and black clothes to absorb heat. ”

Zhu Wentian tried his best to let the chief know more about the situation, as for why he wore black.

One is due to adapting to the night, black is better than white when fighting at night, especially when there is a moon.

Later, women wore more black clothes, and men wore white ones, which was to prevent women from escaping, and wearing black robes could not go too far in the hot climate.

It's just that this official won't mention it, otherwise it will become discrimination, such as women must wear veils or something.

After listening to what Han Han said, the chief imagined it again, and felt that he could indeed climb up, and asked: "Let's occupy the place of sand, and we can't farm the land, and we have to carry water all the time, it's not cost-effective." ”

"That depends on the extent of our occupation, if we can enclose the Gobi Desert and build a defense line in the north, the desert problem can be solved.

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of money, how much are you willing to invest and what do you want to gain?

Take out 10 million guan and send 100,000 people there to plant plants that can survive in the desert, plus grass squares, and see if it can be successful? ”

Zhu Wentian knows this aspect best, and everything lies in the question of whether it is worth it or not.

Water can be carried over and crops such as saxon, camel thorn, and salix can be planted, and patches of green will appear with grass squares.

Thinking that those resources should not be wasted in the desert, the rate of return is too low, and it is naturally difficult.

"Hanhan eats meat, anyway, I don't know so many things, I haven't seen it, take a look at it in my lifetime, that's good!"

The chief pushed the plate of beef sauce in front of Han Han, and looked at the night sky.

"Simple, when this side is stable, we will move the capital, Nanjing now has no foreign enemies, but just a widow.

There are many Daming sailors, and they don't need to go specifically to fight the Japanese invaders, just take the people to fish from the coastal area of Bohai Bay to the South China Sea.

The place where the Japanese can land is a line from Shandong to Fujian, and we can all use this line to develop the economy.

With economic support, the people will not join the same stream as the Japanese invaders, who cross the sea and come here, and I know all the islands that can be used on the way. ”

Zhu Wentian had another map of the place in his mind, including the location of the Japanese Kou.

The Japanese can not start from the Japanese island every time they come to the Ming coastal raid, it is too far, and the key is to encounter a big wind and waves or something.

They rely on islands and reefs as hiding places, how can the Ming people know the specific location?

There is no satellite positioning system, and there is no way to judge where you are, so everyone is currently sailing to look at the stars and try to walk close to the shore.

There is a compass like Sinan, plus the star-pulling technique, and the specific thing is the star-pulling board, which ordinary people don't know.

The sea is vast, as soon as you go out, there is a tile blue on all sides, and when you look at the sun, you must also determine your position, and you don't know where to run if you are a little bit.

The Japanese took advantage of this, and they used their lives to fight for the location of the island, and attacked the coast of Daming again and again.

"Then why don't you fight?" The lieutenant never doubted the information provided by Han Han.

"After the Northern Yuan is defeated, the Northern Yuan will flee north, and the army will retreat, so that the people originally stationed in Nanjing can be familiar with naval warfare, so that they can free up troops."

Zhu Wentian stretched out his hand to the chief, saying that many things are not what you want to do.

What to do now to fight the Japanese invaders? Good weapons are on the front line, and you can't wait for them to come back?

The troops who stayed in Nanjing should have been trained, mainly in swimming, and could not swim in the river, let alone in the sea.

If you are thirsty when swimming in the river, you can drink saliva at any time, and you can also drink it in the sea? Sea water is not good at all, not only salty, but also other textures and tastes.

What's even more terrifying is the sun, the body is stained with seawater, and when the sun shines, the face is hot, so you can only sink your face into the water again and wash it.

"What does the sea look like? Is it more turbulent than the river? "I have never seen the desert, and I don't know the sea.

"There is no danger of the Yangtze River on the seaside, the Yangtze River flows fast, the seaside is a little wave, if the wave is not big, don't take the initiative to jump up when swimming, follow the waves.

The body must be floating, you stand and fall, yes, you usually swim and don't stand and wait for the waves to come.

The depths of the sea are different, and it's hard to move with the waves, because the waves come straight over your head and you have to jump up from behind......"

Zhu Wentian thought about the things in the sea, and talked about it for the chief, and at the same time considered when to take the people from the village to the beach to take a look, and it was not far away, and he went down the Yangtze River.
